    As mentioned in one of my previous posts copyright of items within SL is possible and was ruled as such by the court.

    Curious if you can refer me to the case law supporting your statement.

    I'm not saying you are wrong or I am correct, I would like to read the ruling and get a grasp of what the Judge ruled.

    ETA: This thread has taken a great turning route to what was being discussed from the OP. Let's all take a breath and enjoy some kitties.

    So how does an architect copyright his design once the building has been built with mostly parts that are bought such as doors, windows, walls, roof etc?

    Trademark office?

    McDonald's once had a very distinct look and feel to their restaurants. Still do really.

    Whataburger does as well.

    And then there is Taco Bell

    Not an attorney but I would say if the OP could show injury to finances or reputation, based on a building design being copied in RL, HE or SHE (see what I did there?) might have a case. If it involves a building that only exists in SL, accept it as a compliment to intuition and design abilities.
