Your IP lawyers are giving you poorly thought out advice regarding incorporation of your new trademark policy into the Terms of Service. Especially in regards to recommendations that you attempt to apply the policy to user’s activities outside of Second Life.

What you are being advised to do is of questionable legality (as the SL ToS could easily–again–be found to be a “contract of adhesion), but more importantly is a potential public relations fiasco.

I urge you to reconsider. Or at least talk to some non-IP lawyers.

“So, why exactly does even a prim genital in a mature classified ad have to be hidden from the public eye? Perhaps because the adult grid has been turned into a place where everyone (and all ages) can sign up pretty much anonymously and without an age check? Well, iIt’s either Disneyland online or the SL adult grid, you can’t host both on the same servers. Unless you hurry up with the long planned, long overdue and almost forgotten age verification. Any news on that?”
The new TOS update said that they know underage kids are out here and you have to agree to that before you logged in. Now if you get caught cybering with a underage kid you cannot claim it is an adult site in court. Or if you beat up some kid in RP then it’s some kind of assault on a minor? kind of messed up if you ask me.
They are even raising the build limit to 4000 meters. yet the the IDV ban lines only go up 50m. To top it off they claim they are only a service and not responsible for residents material. the only way to stay out of legal trouble is to act like the whole grid is PG.
At least if LL had age verification at login you can prove the kid lied and stole another persons ID to log in.
I think the IDV is nothing but a PR stunt to cover their own hind ends.
I think this new TOS update really made a mess of things.

With all these Grid-performance ‘issues’ of late, I think the NEW name will soon one day be: “The Game formerly-known as Second Life.”

Tiny it up!

I will no longer refer to “Second Life” in my blog posts. That will simply solve all issues. If we all do this, then “the videogame maintained by the company in San Francisco” will begin to lose search relevance.

Personally, I like that we can comply with their trademark rules, by simply adding 2 words.

I can think of two words right now.

I read and reread “9. How is it that Linden Lab can update its trademark policy? And why can’t Residents be “grandfathered” in under the earlier policies?”

This is so fuzzy and doesnt point out what is breaking rules and whats not. PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH or atleast write it in different languges so people can understand this correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
