License and contract forms for creators

[Parrish Ashbourne]

I found a web site that had some useful example forms for creating content license and custom contact work agreements.

There's all so some interesting info on how to provide evidence to prove your the original creator in case of a dispute.

I havent had to file a DMCA in SL, for those of you that have, what info or evdence is LL wanting as proof.

You don't have to prove anything unless you go to court. A DMCA is a claim that the IP is yours. All you have to do is identify the infringer  and loation of infringing content.  Of course, you don't know what is in inventories, so it is of limited utility.

A DMCA notice is an allegation.  You only have to assert that the IP in question infringes your rights.  The requirements regarding what must be included are simple and specific, and you can read them on Web in many places.  LL doesn't "want" anything, except a notice that meets the legal requirements, in which case they either take down the content or lose their legal safe harbor.  If the owner of the taken-down content files a counter notification saying that it was not infringing, it goes back up, and your next step is to file a lawsuit.  

Neither LL nor any other ISP is going to try to adjudicate copyright disputes.  That would be an absolutely losing endeavor for them, by which they could gain nothing and lose much.  The idea of presenting evidence to them is silly.  You present your evidence during discovery and in court after you file your lawsuit.
