Thank you for your report on the Second Life Regressive Tax on Open Space Sims.

We welcome you to either attend in person in Second Life or view the live video of a large very photogenic PROTEST event in the original open space sims (the type of sims that will likely go away if Linden Lab's announced policy stands).

This morning (Sunday Nov 2) at 10AM Pacific time there will be a large PROTEST REGATTA starting from the four open space sims which were the first such sims created in Second Life (Santa Barbara,Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and Santa Catalina sims).

Surrounding Hollywood sim and Starboards Yacht Club these sims will host a PROTEST REGATTA which will be webcast live on the SLCN.TV network (http://slcn.tv). Boats from various SL communities (such as the very popular sailing and pirate role-playing communities) will wear colorful protest sails and flags.

The race course will take the protesting fleet through more than twenty open space sims, each of whose very existence is threated by the Linden Lab policy announcement.

For further information contact MarkTwain White in world or at [email protected]
