<p>This incident could have been a bigger financial blow than that albatross, Sansar.</p>
<p>For years, LL has been all too happy to cut backroom deals and play favorites with their star-maker machinery if they can make a dollar along the way. How this affected the common society and it's future... it's just Capitalism, babe.</p>
<p>They were lucky, this time, it was Strawberry Singh. She's kind. </p>
<p>But it was really nice to watch them squirm. </p>Bixyl Shuftan commented on 'Top YouTubers Promoting Second Life Hit With Intellectual Property Complaints Sent to YouTube by Second Life Owner Linden Lab - UPDATE: Company Apologizes to Top SL Vlogger, Announces Plans to "Revisit" Trademark Policies'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb09e0556c970d2017-12-15T15:50:56Z2017-12-18T04:29:12ZBixyl Shuftanhttp://slnewser.blogspot.com/I waited until Linden Lab responded before making a comment.

While it's good that they apologized, why did they hassle Strawberry to begin with? While we of course thank Linden Lab for creating Second Life in the first place, and they've done some good moves since, it seems they have a way of making a blunder just as we're starting to think they have their act together. </p>irihapeti commented on 'Top YouTubers Promoting Second Life Hit With Intellectual Property Complaints Sent to YouTube by Second Life Owner Linden Lab - UPDATE: Company Apologizes to Top SL Vlogger, Announces Plans to "Revisit" Trademark Policies'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d2c77a58970c2017-12-15T04:48:03Z2017-12-18T04:29:13Zirihapetithank goodness it got reversed. for sure can say Nobody Is Above The Law. except when add ...the law of...<p>thank goodness it got reversed.</p>

<p>Over the years, Strawberry has given them material for their website, created and contributed windlight settings, promoted the use of mesh body parts (and made them more accessible), and helped new (and in my case, old) users make sense of Secondlife. </p>
<p>If she's made pennies from this, Linden Lab has made dollars from the people who have used her content and then bought the items she's promoted and and then made dollars again as those people rented server space ("land") to create places to show off their purchases. </p>
<p>Yeah, maybe it is about money. From where I sit, it's about LL throwing away dollars to grab at a few pennies, and that makes no sense at all. </p>
<p>It's still short-sighted and moronic. </p>Brooke Barmy commented on 'Top YouTubers Promoting Second Life Hit With Intellectual Property Complaints Sent to YouTube by Second Life Owner Linden Lab - UPDATE: Company Apologizes to Top SL Vlogger, Announces Plans to "Revisit" Trademark Policies'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c93d0dec970b2017-12-14T21:13:07Z2017-12-18T04:29:13ZBrooke BarmyIt seems Linden Lab chooses to focus on their own IP rights instead of creator rights.

Hopefully this is okay)<br />
Trashiest producers of anything ever, zero appreciation for the potential Second Life has as a platform or for their users.<br />
They are the WORST possible owners/producers of something like Second Life.<br />
Corporate Greed and lack of caring about or fostering the community makes me detest LL.<br />
If I ever, EVER, create something like SL Linden Labs will be the prime example of how to NOT manage it. Period.<br />
I am severely disappointed in them.

The tutorials would have been nearly impossible to create without showing off the website a little. Seeing as I am only 18, it is quite scary to receive any kind of legal complaint. </p>
<p>This has generally put me off the whole Second Life platform. I am considering not posting anymore YouTube content about Second Life what so ever because I want to feel free to post my own original content without worrying about any legal obligations. </p>
<p>I do not want to post YouTube content anymore because I feel worried that this will happen again and again. This may generally be the end of my love for Second Life. These videos started off as a hobby to entertain people and give information about in-world items and I never dreamt of there being something "legal" behind it. </p>
<p>This is very sad and generally shocking. I never thought that Linden Labs would do this when all we are doing is advertising for them free of charge. </p>Lusus commented on 'Top YouTubers Promoting Second Life Hit With Intellectual Property Complaints Sent to YouTube by Second Life Owner Linden Lab - UPDATE: Company Apologizes to Top SL Vlogger, Announces Plans to "Revisit" Trademark Policies'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d2c75650970c2017-12-14T18:39:48Z2017-12-14T18:39:48ZLusushttp://www.sl-inspiration.comLinden Labs are clearly being over protective of their eye in hand logo, particularly as other online platforms such as...<p>Linden Labs are clearly being over protective of their eye in hand logo, particularly as other online platforms such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter etc don't actively prevent people using their logos on their websites etc. In fact its good business practise when these logos are used to link back to their content. </p>
<p>In fact many designers have created their own versions of these logos to fit in with the look of various websites.

One was on how to sell your $Lindens, and one was on how to sell on the marketplace. The marketplace one was my highest viewed video, and also the one with the most comments because I explained everything in an easy manner. </p>
<p>The learning curve in Second Life is incredibly steep. Tutorials are not easy to find. You're more likely to find videos of trolls screaming and making SL look like a cesspool rather than the wonderful world it can be. When vloggers make good, decent, easy to understand tutorials, that helps people to come to this world and STAY in this world. I have a feeling Linden Lab does not understand how many new residents have joined because they saw videos on YouTube that were more than trolling.</p>
<p>I also cannot understand why Linden Lab would not want work with someone like Strawberry, who has an incredible amount of viewers, to allow her to use the logo and show the website so that people learn how to make an avatar. Isn't she giving them free publicity? Or do they intend on making their own video on how to become a Second Life resident, and they don't want the competition? </p>VirtuallySheree commented on 'Top YouTubers Promoting Second Life Hit With Intellectual Property Complaints Sent to YouTube by Second Life Owner Linden Lab - UPDATE: Company Apologizes to Top SL Vlogger, Announces Plans to "Revisit" Trademark Policies'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb09e00dc3970d2017-12-14T17:38:14Z2017-12-14T17:38:21ZVirtuallyShereehttp://profile.typepad.com/virtuallyshereeI'm just glad that of all the destinations I write about, that not once did I even bother try to...<p>I'm just glad that of all the destinations I write about, that not once did I even bother try to encourage others to join Second Life with some easy to understand information on how to get started.
