    And once again, they CANNOT enforce a TOS of their making as a private company OUTSIDE of their realm, i.e. their servers, to which you are logged in, either the world or forums or any other related property. The end.

    Exactly.  When people use SL, they agree to a TOS.  Violations of their agreement--like sharing IMs without permission--inside SL are unethical and LL does have in-world enforcement powers.  Violations of their agreement--like sharing IMs without permission--by posting outside SL are still unethical, but LL does not have enforcement powers.

    Once again, Linden Lab does not have jurisdiction outside its own servers. You would not want them to have it, nor would they want it.

    Everything in the TOS and things like this machinima policy refer to usage *inside the realm of Second Life*.

    And again, no one has mounted a successful privacy-related lawsuit involving an avatar and a virtual world. Call me when they do.

    That's to be distinguished from *copyright*-related suits, where they may have a case if there was *commercial use*.

    So again, *it does not matter what the landowner forbids*. Neither he, nor LL, have jurisdiction outside of Second Life.

     

    People agree to a ToS, but its not enforceable.  Ethics is often like that.
