Everything about this bullshit "enforcement" of the "Trademark" makes the baby Jesus cry.
LL has given implied and express consent for the URLs to so many websites it's not even funny. A Linden approached me, and asked me if they could put my blog on their fan site listing.
I said, "Sure, it's http://slrosie.com."
Five minutes later, I appeared on the
SL website. I didn't ask to be put there, they asked to include me.
Can't un-imply your consent, LL.
Upsetting the grassroots
PR will just eliminate the grassroots
PR. But they do have quite a deal going, don't they? We pay to use their borked grid and virtual world, and they pay us nothing to publicize it.
I'll be removing the words "second" and "life" from my blog header, but they can bloody well pay me for the domain that they implied consent for if they expect me to move it.
(It doesn't stand for second life rosie anyway, though, of course. I'm hosted on my friend Isadora's server, so I'm a subdomain of skatoolaki.com ... so clearly, it's SkatooLaki Rosie.)
