'''Kevin Alderman''' is the founder of Eros, LLC. He is also known for his work on intellectual property rights and for his work on intellectual property theft in virtual environments - mainly in the virtual world of Second Life, where he operates as the avatar "Stroker Serpentine". Serpentine is arguably Second Life's most prominent cybersex mogul. More recently, Alderman has begun development of his own 3D virtual world, Eros3D. All of the Eros3D content will be designed by professionals to be as user-friendly as possible. It boasts to not only compete with, but exceed, the Second Life virtual world in not only rendering capabilities but expandability and usability.

Alderman worked for many years as a contract plumber by day and dabbled in virtual sex worlds like SeduCity, a two-dimensional graphical interface, by night until discovering Second Life in November of 2003 and creating his avatar.

Near the weekend of July 4
th, 2008, Alderman spearheaded yet another lawsuit against a Second Life avatar named "Volkov Catteno", temporarily named "John Doe" in court documents, for copying and reselling his virtual SexGen beds. Through several subpoenas served to Linden Lab, Paypal, AT&T and Charter Communications, "Volkov Catteno" was named to be Robert Leatherwood. Leatherwood did not respond to the copyright and trademark infringement complaint within the allotted 20 days, during which time Alderman was able to persuade the court that selling virtual goods for Lindens, an in-game currency which converts out to United States Dollars or the Euro, does constitute a "use in commerce". A default judgement was entered against Leatherman pursuant to Chapter VII of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Rules_of_Civil_Procedure Federal Rules of Civil Procedure].
