<p>How about copyrights for avatars on screenshots??<br />
I have an expo going on in SL showing Na'vi in SL, portraits of blue SL Na'vi avatars in RolePlay sims after the movie Avatar. I wanted to sell these photo's for 100 L$ ($0,30) and I didn't ask the portrayed avatars for their permission. For now I just show and not sell the photo's because I'm not sure about the copyright issues. Some Na'vi got a bit upset thinking I would make a profit by selling their image. What is legal / illegal concerning the copyrights in this case?? <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Oahu/49/99/24" rel="nofollow">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Oahu/49/99/24</a> Gallery Fermate</p>

<p>A little publicity goes a long way, most people would love to have their stuff pop up in a machinima or picture on flickr. The short sighted people, however, won't.</p>
<p>Needless to say, I'm a little disillusioned with content creators who spend more time protesting that everyone is ripping them off than actually creating things.</p>YP commented on 'EFF Lawyer Says Second Life Copyright Issues "In Some Ways Worse" Than Real Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01156f6399f1970c2009-04-28T15:59:52Z2009-04-28T15:59:52ZYPI'm just waiting for the Google SL van man to drive through my plot of land anytime now...<p>I'm just waiting for the Google SL van man to drive through my plot of land anytime now...</p>Zillow Dejavu commented on 'EFF Lawyer Says Second Life Copyright Issues "In Some Ways Worse" Than Real Life'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01157059916d970b2009-04-28T14:22:24Z2009-04-28T14:22:24ZZillow Dejavuhttp://secondchick.comThis does concern me whenever we post screen shots from SL.
