Hi there --- 

 

I can actually do all of this  --- but 

Is this "legal"?   

Using screenshots from Second Life to advertise another "start up" platform seems a bit questionable to me (and likely to some other photographers reading this).   Maybe we need a bit more info.

Why would you need SL screen shots to market your platform? How is your platform relevant to in-world images from SL? This definitely sounds illegal to me. Have you submitted a ticket in SL to ask if you can do this? Wouldn't you want people to take snaps inside your platform? You could ask for people's social media where they host their pics, like Flickr for example, and this would help you determine who you will hire for your brand.

Hi Kytteh,

 

Thanks for asking that.  May of the founders of BoU used to work at LL, and we have a positive professional relationship established between the companies.  There should be no issues.
