Join us today for the Designing Worlds show at 2pmSLT at our Designing Worlds studios on Northpoint as we continue our discussion of one of the most important issues to have come up in Virtual Worlds – the question of intellectual property, and the challenges to it.
Today we’re looking at the Linden Content Management Roadmap and asking whether that will provide a measure of protection for inworld creators, or will they increasingly be turning to more stringently controlled worlds such as Blue Mars instead. Gwen Carillon of the Content Creators Association will be with use to explain why the Association has been campaigning for something like the Roadmap for over a year.
We’ll also be discussing problems with the online sales site XStreetSL – was that a missed opportunity for protection?
And we’ll also be looking at the problems inherent in some browsers which may be brilliantly designed, but which permit abuses – with Angela Talamasca, who will explain the pros and cons that such third party browsers offer.
And RightasRain Rezzable will be in the studio to discuss how the issue will affect not just Second Life, but Open Sim grids as well, in the light of the BuilderBot tool.
So do join us at the Designing Worlds studios on Northpoint as we discuss this hugely important issue for Virtual Worlds – and make your voice heard. The show starts at 2pm, but we recommend being there at 1:30pm to make sure of getting a seat!
