Do any of you have a website that is in violation of the SL trademark policy? Have you dumped your domain name for a new one yet? What domains start with "SL" are affected?
http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/03/24/introducing-the-second-life-brand-center/ http://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/trademark/unauthorized.php For our special permission to use "SL" or "inSL" with a domain name, see the License to Use SL™ or inSL™. http://secondlife.com/corporate/brand/trademark/sl_insl.php There was so much talk about this when the blog first released it. Are people taking it seriously? Just wondering. |

According to their trademark application for SL, it only applies to companies in the business of creating or providing virtual worlds. Unless your website is for a business doing one of those things, or unless you claim to be part of Linden Lab, you should be fine.

The page that I host pictures for make product posts has secondlife in the domain name. Will that be ok? I don't have a blog or any written content on that site. _____________________

Hmm, I doubt this affects me, I've got an sl.renara.com domain thought there's currently nothing on it. It mostly hosts web-services I use in SL and will have documentation if I ever get around to releasing any =)
