If LL is taking ‘SL’, I am taking ‘DD’…. More on Brand Madness
As Morris posted HERE, LL wants their eyeball hand all to themselves, and wants no one to ever infringe upon the words “second” and “life” together.
Disclaimer: This picture posted in this blog in no way reflects anything to do with the company known as “Linden Lab” and the product “Second Life” Furthermore, this “Second Arts” blog is in no way officially connected with “Second Life” or “Linden Lab”. ….(sigh) …. Further furthermore… Doubledown Tandino is not the one in the picture wearing the TShirts. ….. fuuuuuuuuurthermore, “Second Life”& “Linden Lab” are cool, and this blog, and the readers, and Doubledown Tandino are in no way affiliated with “Second Life” or “Linden Lab” even though we’re the ones making it and they just own the land……
….. I give up….. are we going to have to write disclaimers like this on everything now?????? HELP US?!
Anyway, as a statement, I took it upon myself to make light of the madness and transform it into a violating new TShirt line. IM me inworld and I’ll be happy to give you the first set of 3.

Let me be the first to comment on this too. I don’t have a problem with LL’s new terms for wanting to distinguish their company and product with the people that create their own stuff within their product. It makes sense, and I don’t look at LLs decision negatively. However, I do think my Tshirts are funny, and making jokes about it is funny…. LL has given us 90 days to make changes. So, for 90 days, I plan to make jokes about their logo and trademark, but then I’ll pack it up and respect their branding image and how they want it. Milking grace periods is one of the finer points in life…. sometimes even my reason for living. grace periods people, … grace periods…. it’s when cool stuff you wanna do happens!
