My life!

A BOGGER who invited Second Life to send him a cease and desist letter for his parody on the virtual world was told to bog off.

Instead, a lawyer for Linden Lab sent a snottogram to bogger Darren Barefoot, and a rep for Second Life said he resented the implication that it would hire lawyers without a sense of humour.

Barefoot's parody site, GetAFirstLife.com, has instead received a licence to parody, and he is also being allowed to flog t-shirts using a modified Second Life logo, so it is related, here. µ

* MEANWHILE the Sinfonia of Leeds said it will bring a 74 piece orchestra into Second Life on Silicon Island on the 3rd of February, plaing Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and others. More on this, here.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
