My Mood: | Whoa wow, they're enforcing "SL" too? That's going to make a lot of changes to a lot of people, especially the Society for Llamas and the Sponges and Loofas Association. We'll also have to stop using words like "also" and turn them into "aso" or "aslo". EDIT:

| I'm not putting up SHIT. And they can deal with it. What's their policy on third-party sites again? Yeah. That's what I thought. |

My Mood: | This has actually been their policy for a long time now. When I started SLBoutique, I talked to Robin, and I basically... well... had to do what they're saying they're doing now. This is nothing new, for those who have been paying attention to trademark / fair use all along. They're definitely expanding their branding, but this actually should have been done years ago. I've had a ton of t-shirt designs rejected in the past - can't say I blame 'em, given my sense of humor. ![]() Regards, -Flip

I really doubt they're going to waste their time going after general blogs. This is geared more towards products with the SL name in them and the SL logo, etc. However the wording is INCREDIBLY vague. | |

My Mood: | PS - Removing "SL" from things like "SLUniverse.com" - good luck! It ain't going to happen. I once worked for a place called "The Einstein Academy" that Einstein's estate tried to stop using "Einstein" - however, even though it was a proper noun, they failed because it was a cultural meme. Just my experience. Regards, -Flip |
