Wanna know what it’s like to live in the Star Trek universe, where anything and everything you possibly could hope to ask for is one replicator function away? Then perhaps this Second Life script is for you!

Copybot is able to perfectly reproduce objects, along with their textures. The statue or piece of furniture one worked so hard to create in hopes of selling it can be recreated flawlessly by Copybot. Recreated flawlessy but not identically – the creator field will be different, the version produced by the Copybot proram will show the name of the account the Copybot program used to log in with, not the person who actually created the object design.

… which is relevant, since Linden Labs business model depends a lot on players being able to sell their intellectual creations for Linden Bucks, or whatever the heck they’re called. How much cash is spent is anybody’s guess, but as of yet, we do not live in a Star Trek dystopia* in real life, so one expects Linden to jump on this one quickly.
