Yeah, I think Linden have a number of issues to work out here, and they're growing by the day. I would like to see a lot more community liaison than just the 'town hall meetings' that happen once a month. An ongoing consultation with users about rules and regulations would be an interesting project. I've already taken part in two such surveys for academic establishments who are studying SL - I'll see if I can find out if they have published their findings yet... @Taran

And no, you can't get what you *build* out of SecondLife, though I believe work has been done toward exporting build information from SecondLife. If it hasn't, it would be cool. The point about value outside of the SL ecosystem is 100% right, at least so far. :-) If you leave SecondLife, you can’t gain access to SecondLife just because it contains some of your copyrighted works – that was in the recent changes to the terms of service (http://www.knowprose.com/node/16730 ) in Section 3.3.
