Hey! Are you a furry content creator for SL? Especially for UTILIZATOR Kemono, Bunny Puzzle Viss, and the PAWS mesh heads?



Then your content has possibly been used by Lapfox Trax without your permission.

This first came to my attention a long while ago when I noticed that Lapfox Trax’s Rotteen character had Second Life screenshots as it’s official reference, one using my own textures. But today I was informed this is actually worse than I first thought.

For those of you that don’t know, Lapfox Trax is (mostly?) one guy who has a ton of characters that he uses for music. “Lapfox Trax” is the label, the “musicians” under that label are the characters.

The official reference images for several of these characters are just Second Life avatars made from assorted parts made by many content creators.

Here’s a link to the website in question

He credits Second Life itself, but not the artists. He just does that lazy “all content belongs to their rightful owners” thing.

Most notably, for the character “Rotteen” he has used SEVERAL of Mynx Legend’s original skin designs (click for link) who has made posts in the past saying they want credit for anyone who uses their designs for characters outside of SL. I do not know if any of the other character’s skins are original/custom or not, but I’m assuming the chances of that are slim.

Also Lapfox Trax is COMMERCIAL, he is making money from this in a way. These aren’t just regular OCs.

He has used content from the following creators/stores: Utilizator, ABC (related to Utilizator), Myself, Mynx Legend, Puppy, PAWS, Krankhaus, Murder Of Ravens, Delirious, Static, Bunny Puzzle, Blue Galaxy

+ and MORE but I did not recognize any others - if you know more, tell me.

I understand that not every creator will be bothered by this - personally for my own textures, I’m not, as they’re just eyes, but for something more like original skin designs, I think it’s shitty to claim that this is your original character design when it’s nothing but a mixture of other people’s hard work.

TL;DR Lapfox Trax/Renard Queenston is using Second Life avatars made from other creator’s parts as official character references, and is not crediting anyone.

If anyone knows what Lapfox’s SL username might be, or another way to contact him - PLEASE TELL ME. I want to speak with him directly about this.
