From: Nimue Jewell This is always what I understood the rules for PG land to be too. I agree, though, that it seems it has never been enforced. Interestingly, though, the blog promises, "Enforcement will not change". |

From: Desmond Shang Doesn't quite work that way. If it did, no apartment renter would ever have any rights. But they do.
Just because you are somebody's landlord you can't go through their things any time you want.
You're correct that it doesn't work that way, but it's not because of the Fourth Amendment. It's partly because of explicit landlord-tenant laws that regulate such things. It's also because the landlord doesn't own the physical property in question, just the building in which it's located. But in SL, all you ever own is a license. That license gives LL lots of rights, while giving you essentially no privacy. From: someone
Your cable company has no rights to go poking through your data either.
It's the same thing here.
Again, there are explicit laws and regulations governing cable companies and other common carriers. LL has, so far, avoided going into the direction of being a common carrier. |
