After using IMVU for five/six years now I have experienced many great thingsFirst and foremost, IMVU sparked my interest in graphic design which has now become a life long hobbyUnfortunately, this is the only positive aspect for me on IMVUIn my experience with IMVU, the company has allowed other users to steal my graphic design work by refusing to honor DMCA claims that I have filedThis company has also completely disregarded e-mails sent to the designated DMCA agent, refusing to so much as reply, while what few times they did reply they completely ignored the inquiry made and/or replied and refused to respond to questions askedThe most alarming short coming of this company is the fact that they encourage users to create products for their digital catalog, allowing many to infringe upon brands through logo and designIMVU continues to allow high grossing content creators to infringe upon the rights of brands such as Nike etc due to the income this brings to IMVU, thus making the company just as guilty of infringement as the user creating the infringing contentThis, to me, seems like a serious form of creator income discrimination by IMVUI think of it as a performance ultimatum IMVU has pressed it's users with- make my company tons of money by infringing upon these brands, their logos, and their designs, or I will ban you for using them in the first placeThis is not right to say the leastThe fact that IMVU is allowing so many high grossing creators to use these brands make IMVU's Terms of Service regarding this issue very misleading and confusing as it appears that, perhaps, the language of the agreement was not as it seems and many users then partake in creating these products only to loose their account for doing soI may never get my account back for being mislead into thinking making content of popular real world brands was alright by IMVU's own disregard of their own rule, but the very least I can do is warn other creators that may read this so that they are not mislead into thinking that using brands such as Nike is acceptable only to loose their account as I didNot to mention to loose the money one would invest in creating products and other expenses associated with creating on IMVUIn summary, a great many creators have made this same innocent mistake due to being mislead by IMVU's negligence in enforcing their own rules on creators that make the company higher amounts of money through it's creator programEthically this company should enforce it's rules on every creator, irrespective of incomeĪfter eight years on imvu I have had the last I can take of it
