SLU. He runs an ad, alongside many other ads.
That's immeasurably different from creating a specific section of your commerce website to single out and highly advertise a subsection of products offered by a specific person who happens to co-own the service. Cristiano's one ad doesn't draw any more attention to his animations than my ad draws attention to my products, it doesn't promote his products at the expense of my promotions, it doesn't even impact my sales because I don't make animations in the first place.
Not to mention I could purchase more ads to offset his individual one where no merchant on SLX will ever, ever be able to purchase their own specific section of showcasing on the front page, the sidebar, the search, etc etc etc.
OnRez isn't promoting ESC, ESC doesn't make any consumer content in the first place so there's no reference there. There's a tiny mention in the footer of the page for which company owns the site. That's like saying Amazon is promoting Amazon by saying "Copyright Amazon.com." But again, ESC doesn't sell avatars or chairs or prefabs, they aren't competing with other residents, where Anshe's goal was to deliberately crash and devalue content to IMVU.com levels. You want to complain about rent and all that, she was trying to take the money out of your account balance, and every item listed on SLX helps her do that.
