"CopyBot is an exploit on Second Life"

"An exploit is a common term in the computer security community to refer to a piece of software that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability, leading to privilege escalation or denial of service on a computer system. " --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(computer_science)

The ability to see objects and textures in Second Life and reproduce the exact same thing is not a bug, glitch, or vulnerability of the system. The idea that everyone has the same building tools and capabilities is in fact one of primary features of SL. While the use of the software for illegal or ToS breaking purposes can be called immoral, unethical, and illegal, the program itself is in no way an exploit. No one got paid an exploit bounty for discovering it.
