RIP SL

As most users know, Linden Labs "revised" their Terms of Service again. No surprise there. Also no surprise again they fuck up and pissed off their residence AGAIN!
However this time i think they went way to far. Not sure exactly what the TOS says this time but from what i read on Hypergrid Business website they made it so Linden Labs can do whatever they want with the content uploaded to Second Life without prior permission by the owner of that content. Now some people in SL may find this alright but others like me think that LL has gone way to far now.
We content creators like to create stuff for people to enjoy and possibly make money off of it. For LL to just come in and take whatever they want to do with whatever they want is totally wrong and i'm pretty sure violates afew IP rights. They say they will still respect IP rights so if they do respect and honor that then why the F for the change? Could of left the ToS the way it was. This change from my understanding not only violates IP rights but makes me personally feel like im creating stuff for LL for free and thats not right. Yea i create stuff for free on LFGrid for others to use and enjoy but LL has become a big name company with loads of money to give to creators so why this change and why am i pissed (dear ADHD, piss off)? its because with this change gives LL the right to basicly steal anything they want to use in advertisements and other ways without asking for permission by the creator or give the creator any money for it. Before the change LL could of still used other peoples works for advertisement but would have to either ask for permission or buy the item(s) from the creator.
But chris why would you give a shit about SL, your hiding on the Littlefield Grid again.
I give a shit for those who are about to be screwed over again by Linden Labs and therefore am still boycotting SL and encourage others to join with me.
If anyone of you are thinking of leaving SL and wondering about OpenSim. Its a great, better, cheaper life. And bigger. Their are way more opensim grids with lots more sims with cheap sim rental compared to SL. The total amount of sims and people throughout the opensim community is way bigger now then SL. Why? Because people like me have had enough of SL and are leaving for a better virtual life.
So join me in boycotting Second Life and Linden Labs. If you care to actually join me on a OS grid, join or hyper jump over to lfgrid.com:8002 and ask or look for Christina Vortex.
Please let me know you like to also boycott SL, if there are enough people i may make a group on LFG and OSG called "Boycotting SL"

So Rest In Peace Second Life. You where great back 10 years ago BEFORE your owner(s) became obsessed with greed.
