A better and more pertinent question for Mr Loon might be whether he can afford the legal fees if he gets DMCAed by all the RL companies whose trademarks he’s infringing (Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Adidas)…

@Eva Ryan Yeah it's a scam, I remember reading that post, as well as the Jira for it. http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=270710 http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-2641? Both posts are VERY INTRESTING as well, the Jira was created 13/Jul/08 and has been open since then. Guess thats the nature of a video game, some people will play fair and have fun, while others will use cheat codes and ruin it for everyone.

Gee, $1000 purchase and $300 / month for a sim. Then add $2000 / week in advertisements? Seeing as how you can rent a billboard on the side of a busy highway for $300 / month RL I’d say that’s a pretty big rip off. Here’s a tip, try Google ads. For around $20 / month you get all the targeted advertising anyone could want!

Lindens have no intrinsic value, so they aren’t throwing away $2000 dollars a week. No more than someone who farms gold in WoW is throwing money away when they buy a Purple Sword for 500 gold. SL is a game to many, and I see nothing wrong with them playing it as they see fit. And I have to echo MarkByrn’s sentiments to a point, classifieds aren’t paying LL money directly, they are a sink to the overall SL economy however, and do realize LL some profit. LL is probably one of the most worthy charities I know of.

Obscene is the first word that comes to my mind after reading this. If there is even a little truth to this story, I have to say it is obscene to throw away $2000 a week, just for the fun of it. With all the need in the world, not to mention the current economy, this is just idiotic. I can only believe there is a lot more to it than, “just for fun”. And I really do not believe anyone is making so much money in SL that, “they don’t care about the money”. There is obviously a more to this story.
