Could you please provide me the source from which you obtained such information? Don't get me wrong, I am not distrustful but It's hard for me to believe that (according to what you say) anyone could make identical copies of RL stuff... It is my understanding that a design is a design and no matter if it is made of leather or drawn. If you are right, what is the meaning of this fragment of the Linden Lab

Nevertheless, i can tell you that i have seen similar shoes (not the same quality, not really exactly same but really looking like) in tons of cheap shoes store in RL. im not a law specialist, so i cant tell... Does shoes design is the same as art ? does it have the same restriction

Hello! I would like to open my shoe store soon but I have some doubts regarding copyright and trademark. A well-known shoe store in SL have released few months ago a new collection of mesh shoes... all of them are accurate reproductions of RL designs, i mean the designs are identical to Jimmy Choo-Lance sandal, Christian Louboutin pumps and Alexander Mcqueen wedges (among others). So the big question: is this legal? Reading the Linden lab TOS I thought we were not allowed to copy RL designs.
