Among recent appearances, Channel 4 in the UK interviewed me in-world about CopyBot, while NWN showed up on a French site called 20 Minutes and a Japanese publication called IT Pro. In the latter, sharp-eyed readers will notice that the account growth chart in Tateru Nino's latest "New World Numbers" inspired a kanji version.

Flaws with the channel4 report:
1) It's not a computer game
2) It's Linden Lab not Linden Labs.
3) There are bigger businesses in SL than Reebok.
4) It's a bit over-zealous to say that libSL are working on the next generation of SL.
5) Come on, couldn't they have used Crazy Talk ?
6) Linden Lab have not banned CopyBot, they've only clarified that the misuse of it is against the TOS.
