Yes, I know.   But my last statement was in reference to this quote

IMs do not fall into that category which is why they can be posted offsite.

As I said, I could have phrases it better

One more time.

I am NOT talking about the section you just quoted. I am talking about the one you posted and then you quoted it in your own post on page 2.

The one that DOES pertain to CONVERSATIONS which DO INCLUDE IMs . IMs ARE CONVERSATIONS.

Chat is specifically covered with this.

Chat is covered by terms of service.  I said that.  What is not is IMs offsite.  What is as per Molly's post is anything they see as property of LL.  Such as their name.  IM is NOT seen as copywrited, therefore can be used offsite.

Now, if I still haven't cleared up what I actually said yet, I'm sorry I'm if you've misunderstood.

I haven't misunderstood. Not once I have said a single word about copyright. What I am talking about doesn't have anything to do with copyright. I know open chat and IMs can't be copyrighted. That is why I am not talking about that. I am talking about the fact that chat and IMs can NOT be shared WITHIN SL without permission from all involved in those conversations but that they can be shared outside of Linden Lab services/servers/forums/Marketplace/etc/etc/etc. Any website that Linden Lab does not pay for, Linden Lab does NOT have jurisdiction over. Conversations don't have anything to do with copyright. So why are you convinced I am wrong? It's been years and I forget who but LL has been to court a time or two over it and LL did not win.

You quoted my post and then went on as if saying what I posted was incorrect.

I was trying to explain to the OP why the person from SL secrets (now virtual secrets) was banned.  Not for posting IMs but for using SL in her website name.  I certainly know posting IMs inworld or on any LL owned forum or blog is against ToS

I apologize if I took want you said as disagreeing with what I originally posted.  But it came off that way to me.

I understood it just fine, honestly. They broke the TOS for the name of it. Which is probably going to happen with this one.

No, I was saying the same thing you were in regards to posting chat and IMs outside of SL. 

I never said a word about SLS/VS. Go back and re-read my posts if you need to. I never mentioned Kess or her site. Yes, I do know about it. No, I don't go there. I outgrew slambooks before they ever existed.

It was a misunderstanding so of course I accept and apologize for my own part in the misunderstanding. I'm sorry it came off that way to you. I admit my feathers were a bit ruffled yesterday but it had nothing to do with you, the thread or SL. Please accept my apology for that as well.

lol I'm not sure what you understood now but yes, LL did change the TOS so they could force people to change website names years ago. They tried it on Cris and SLU but it didn't work.
