For the next 12 days, every skin in the Curio mainstore is on sale for half price. The sale ends at midnight SLT, May 4, and then I’ll be temporarily closing to make room for new releases, coming soon!

In March 2012, Gala Phoenix filed a DMCA takedown notice against Hush Darkrose for
alleged infringement of her Curio skins. In May 2012, Hush Darkrose responded by filing
a DMCA takedown notice with Linden Research, Inc. and filed a Notice of Civil Claim
against Gala Phoenix for alleged infringement of her Hush skins.

Hush Darkrose would like to clarify that she did not “obtain” an injunction against Gala
Phoenix, but rather only sought an injunction against Gala Phoenix in a Notice of Civil
Claim, which was then filed with Linden Research, Inc. and resulted in the takedown of
certain Curio skins.

Since that time, Hush Darkrose and Gala Phoenix have been in legal discussions regarding the skins in question. The parties have agreed that each store was created separately and individually.

Wishing to avoid the expense of litigation, Hush Darkrose and Gala Phoenix have
reached a private and amicable agreement, and are content with the results. Neither Hush Darkrose nor Gala Phoenix admits liability, and both parties wish to put the dispute behind them and move forward.

Both Hush Darkrose and Gala Phoenix would like to thank the public for their support
and patience during this time, and hope that the public will continue to offer their support
to both designers and the incredible and unique skins that they each offer.

Thank you,
Hush Darkrose, Hush Skins
and
Gala Phoenix, Curio Skins

Thanks to all who have contacted me, we’ve already collected snapshots of all the skins we were looking for. Thanks so much for all your help!

I am still completely amazed and in awe at the strength and generosity of the Second Life community. Words can’t express my appreciation for each and every one of you who expressed your support and came forward to donate your time, talent and money for my cause.

I will continue to update this blog with news and Indiegogo total updates, so please check back often.

With deepest gratitude,

Gala

The fundraiser site at http://www.indiegogo.com/Curio will still be accepting donations after the One Voice event concludes.

I’ll be announcing our grand total so far on Monday, so stay tuned!

Gala

The combined donations from the One Voice fundraiser in-world and the IndieGoGo campaign totaled $20,860 this afternoon.

I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of the Second Life community: the designers and content creators who donated to the amazing One Voice event; the bloggers who spread the word about this situation and promoted the fundraisers; each individual who took time to go to the event and buy items or donate at the IndieGoGo site, or even donate directly to me; the organizers and sim owner that made One Voice possible; and all the other people who have helped, supported me, and believed in me throughout the last month and a half.

$20,000 is a lot of money, but it is really the low end for a copyright lawsuit. The more I raise above that minimum, the better prepared I will be for the fight coming up. I will keep updating the total here so you’ll know what the final amount is.

Thank you all so very much. Together, we are so much stronger than I ever imagined.

A lot of people have asked if there’s a way of donating outside of Second Life. I’ve set up a simple Indiegogo site for everybody who would like an alternative way to make a donation, and it can be found here at: http://www.indiegogo.com/Curio

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity and support of my fellow content creators, tonight, at midnight SLT, is the start of the One Voice Fundraiser for my legal fund. The fundraiser runs until July 16th, and will take place in the Mesh sim, so graciously donated and beautifully arranged by Eku Zhong.

Please be sure to drop by and see all the amazing creations being offered for this important cause.

Thank you all so much for all of your support,

Gala
