MP sellers and uneducated legal statements

[steph Arnott]

"This product in no way infringes registered copy or TM rights and any resemblance to a real world product or TM is  purely coincidental" Sorry pal a court would throw that out as garbage.

SL is full of terrible misinformation and disinformation on the law.  At least that one's actually funny.

Trolling again, you must be one lonley loser. BTW where are these lies you wish to post about me, am waiting.

we have to consider that not everyone is from the US and the US laws don't apply globally, laws range of effectiveness are limited by its jurisdiction.

many people understand the laws of their countries, how those countries manage those concepts, so they may write what is considered enough protection in their country concepts, but it may be different how the US see the same thing.

if a person from another country, lets say Timbuktu, break a US law, would he have to save to buy a ticket to the US so he can get in jail?

Well, LL will at some point be forced to remove certain products that use TM and copywrite. Also i tend to dissagree with the Timbuktu  argument as 98% in SL are from USA and EU and those TM and c are internationaly registered.

People have to agree with the TOS which says that the US and California laws govern SL.

If the crime was serious enough though they may be extradited here to stand trial.  I doubt that would happen though with anything SL connected.

Laws from other countries are not enforceable in the US unless there is a treaty agreeing to specificaly enforcing a particular law.

The problem with enforcing anything though is that most things in SL are not worth the expense.
