Pirated content deleted from Second Life!
In response to DMCA regulations, Linden Lab administrators deleted a lot of pirated content from Second Life, apparently taking down some things that weren’t pirate, after all.
“Frustrated Second Life business-owners have turned to lawsuits as an option. Last year Second Life users Robert Leatherwood (Second Life: Volkov Catteneo) and Thomas Simon (Second Life: Rase Kenzo) were sued for distributing copies of virtual objects. Both cases settled for nominal amounts.”
If you don’t the details, take a look at the Wikipedia page about DMCA. I don’t agree on its principles, and I don’t like when DMCA interferes with freedom and creativity. By the way, this is what you get when your servers live in the U.S. territory :-)
