The people whining about this are those making "shoes" and such (just models with no interactivity to them)...
This is like me making a web page with a bunch of jpgs and complaining because people can right-click to save them.
SL is a platform, and is now moving past its infancy a little. This is a paradigm shift, forcing people who want to leverage the platform to have to *gasp* offer something of value.
A prim object is essentially a 3D.jpg..jpgs have very little value. An interactive web application with a backend has value... as does an interactive SL application. Take the many holdem poker tables in-game. Or the full scale golf course of Nber Medici and MarkTwain White...
and the sailboat races... and DarkLife...
People... stop your bitching, or just leave and watch the next phase of innovation happen from the outside.:-)
