Overwhelming (and surprising) reactions upon Luna Lunaria's passing; CW: long (almost 1,600 characters), death

Seriously, never before have I seen as many condolence posts and comments and
actions on OpenSimWorld as for @
Luna Lunaria. And never before have I seen
two independent memorial events being scheduled for one member of the community. (Unfortunately, one will be in the middle of the night for me.)
This is even more remarkable when you consider that she was a commercial merchant who sold most of her creations for money. Even some of the "Never buy in OpenSim" die-hards appear to mourn her. After all, her creations
are worth the money, especially the buildings. I doubt that there's anything exclusive to Second Life that comes close to that monumental art déco event location appropriately called
(CW for the link: eye contact) "
The Majestic". (Sadly, we'll never get a PBR "Majestic" now, as gorgeous it is with Blinn-Phong textures.)
So I guess (I actually hope) that her passing won't be seen as an opportunity to copybot her creations, rebox them and offer them as freebies somewhere, now that she can't do anything against it anymore. I mean, her content isn't going to go anywhere. @
Lone Wolf has said her sims will stay online. I hope that even the anti-capitalist activists and the freebie store owners who are constantly looking for exclusive, top-notch-quality content won't have the heart to bot or god-mode her stuff, especially seeing as her creations are so unique that nobody can get away with rebranding Luna's works as their own original creations.
