We all know the owners of the avatars have privacy interests, but in SL, that right does not cross the electrical membrane between the users keyboard and the company servers to protect the privacy of the user. The simplest example, the known fact that anyone can listen in and view anything that anybody else is doing, (again, forgetting the total obliteration of any reasonable privacy expectation by the TOS), defeats any reasonable expectation the human user could have while acting out as an avatar in SL. I and anyone else can view anybody’s avatar conduct, even record it, or republish it, even if “banned” and neither the avatar or the owner can argue successfully to prohibit it under or seek “damages” under a legal concept of “privacy”.

How absurd SL players can be.

Anybody on SL who is afraid of someone getting pissed off at them enough to troll them or stalk them RL is typically responsible for doing some pretty terrible stuff to people and deserves it. If a few assholes got whats coming to them in RL for shit they pull in SL, that would deter more cowardly assholes from copycatting.

If one person is allowed to go against the law of the land, then everyone else should be able to. After all, I’ve heard that reasoning from LL themselves when it comes to banning people.

Though the problem with SL is the fact technically everyone is breaking the rules and the TOS by simply being on the grid, that the lindens can simple make up reasons at any time they wish. Goes hand in hand with a totalitarian regime, where you have a system made up of nothing but law breakers, it amounts to control over what they do and think.

You help enable this.

Linden Labs is a dirty company, they dont really give a shit about anyone, not even you. They will get rid of you when they see you as a threat to their profit, they also clearly state that if worse comes to worse, they will sell all of your personal info to squeeze some final profit out of their users. They dont say how much of the info they sell either, which is good and bad. good if say, it’s just your real name and birthdate. however we know that data is next to useless. So the bad part is that we do know that they wont be selling that info. Will they be selling your address, Social Security number? or even credit card number? This is why I refuse to give them such information.

Another reason useless features like age verification are shunned by many. When you can block based on payment info and get the same result.

The question is, for you Kalel, and the JLU, why do you defend a system this corrupt, a system that will, in the end, use you, even after you’ve stopped playing? Is it even about that?

How dare they be ostentatiously decent!

It is articles like this that help publicize these sorts of issues. This allows participants in the current climate to be more circumspect, and hopefully still derive some benefit.

“The nature of privacy on Second Life is indeed a tenuous issue to study.”

Study? lol, fag.

“In my work, as well as that of my colleagues”

Work? Colleagues? lol, fag.

“the vital work that is undertaken by groups like the JLU”

The vital work? You mean yiffing? That is only vital to the destruction of humankind, but okay…

“as every time we post a chat log as is required to file proper abuse reports”

Spamming tens or hundreds of abuse reports is not filing “proper abuse reports”. It is abusing the abuse report system.

“we would be in violation of the ToS”

You ARE in violation of the ToS.

“The Lindens wisely saw that there had to be some permissible violations of privacy in order for groups like ours to do their jobs.”

You don’t have a job. You are a bunch of RP fags that like to fantasize you’re batmans and supermans.

ITT: Focus shifts to Kalel’s false sense of self-importance.

Griswold v. Connecticut was where the right to privacy was first invoked to allow married couples to purchase contraception. That court case led to Roe v. Wade establishing the legality of having an abortion. In the US, reproductive rights means being able to chose how and if a person is going to create life and not have that option controlled by the government.

Prok,
Asked and Answered

Curious readers,
Everytime Prok asks “if I passed the bar”, I am responding “asked and answered” because I already gave him an answer to that question and in this context, I’m not practicing law. If you have a specific legal question, you should see your own attorney and not rely on what I say. You might be in another jurisdiction where the answer is different.

Everyone else,

Thanks for coming. I always appreciate your comments.

Reproductive rights? the right to procreate?

Do you mean Copyright law and intellectual property rights?
