They think they're circumventing the ban because you don't play with L$, you use Z-whatever. The games are EXACTLY the same though, minus the fact that you don't use Lindens.

As in my previous post, I agree they shouldn't be legal if that's the complete scenario. I also agree that they're trying to circumvent the bans.

Individually the machines are legal. The SYSTEM taken as a whole no longer is.
