EXCLUSIVE!!! – SecondLie in his final interview!!!
Danko: What’s your opinion of InWorldz, OSgrid, Kitely, etc?
SecondLie: If I’m going to waste my time on something as sordid and worthless as virtual worlds, I’m going to insist on paying too much for it! Second Life all the way!

In October, I joined the United Content Creators of Second Life as they organized a protest of Linden Lab’s terms of service changes on the issue of intellectual property rights.
Over the past couple of months, the group has been completely reorganized and its mission modified. This has caused me to reconsider my membership.
Since I told you here that I had joined the group, it seemed appropriate to mention that I am leaving it.
I still support the rights of content creators, a change in the TOS, and the concept of LL communicating with its users.
I will continue to follow and write about these issues.
So now we can make purchases that have the Export Perm and take our items from one virtual world to another.
Of course, there’s a fee for that.
How much should a seller charge a customer for that right?
“…Just because you’re granting them the right to go anyhere in the free Metaverse with their purchase doesn’t mean they’re going to go everywhere with it….”

Linden Lab’s leader departs unceremoniously.
Hell, no surprise there, eh?
K, if that’s the way he wants it…

It’s difficult for a time traveler to get overly excited about moving from one year to the next…but i’ll play along.
Happy New Year!
Just a random plug for my scoop.it page, News of the Virtual World.
My Typist (he insists on the capitalization) has a new column on Hypergrid Business called Gridhopping with George Miner. This is the first installment…

Some people didn’t like Kitely’s pricing policy, lots of people seemed to have trouble understanding it. They decided to address that.

Group notice received today in Second Life…
Group Notice From: United Content Creators of SL, Kylie Sabra
Good day, Members:
We are taking a break during the month of December. Business slow down and so should we. I encourage you to enjoy this holiday season. Continue to spread the word about the UCCSL. We will be back to being the proverbial thorn in Linden Lab’s side at the first of the year. Failing an acceptable revision by end of February, we begin assertive actions. Five months is more than enough for Linden Lab to have worked out a resolution to address our concerns.
Now that we know there are spies in Second Life, I will no longer refer to my other avies as alts. They are decoys.
Danko Whitfield
