Kylie Addison Sabra, Curator @The Rose Theatre & Art Galleries commented: "The Rose Theatre and Galleries has been an avid supporter of art in Second Life from it's very inception nearly seven years ago. We are deeply concerned about this volatile change in the Second Life Terms of Service, which is an utter break of trust between Linden Labs and all content creators.
Ernie Farstrider of EAST-WEST Galleries has offered up his Amphitheater to host a meeting of artists and all content creators to discuss this change, its effects and our consequent response.

Please don't think this doesn't affect you because you are a "small" creator. Not my choice of word, but rather some of the responses I've heard. With the loss of Renderocity and CGTextures as resources for textures, we may well be seeing just the beginning of a full-scale protest against Linden Labs for this unconscionable action. When creators and third-party materials providers stop permitting uploads to SL, don't think for a minute that you are not affected.

| 3D version of the paintings of the Italian artist Walter Mac Mazzieri by maddomxc Umino @ Pyramid Cafe Opening today! |
Imagine this. You are invited to display in a real life gallery. You're so incredibly excited and you hang your work on the walls and have your reception and the gallery owner turns to you and says, "Oh, by the way, I own all of your work now. I have full rights to it to do with as I please. It is mine."
How would you respond to that? This is precisely what Linden Labs has done.
Apathy can spell the end of this world as we know it. Come and be heard. Come and have a voice. Come and be a solution to the problem.
ALL content creators are encouraged to attend. Please forward this to your groups"

It gets worse than that. The TOS state that LL owns the item even if the creator DELETES it or REMOVES it from their inventory. LL owns it until every item on the grid is removed. As we know, this is impossible. We have NO CONTROL as creators whatsoever.
I think the new TOS basically are preparing for the company to be sold. The proud new owner will have us all in chains.
Dear Anonymus,
with some thinking, it is clear why LL needs those rights. What, if the creator sold his items. Do you really think that it would be fair to delete them in the inventory of the buyer just because the creator took it out of his inventory? Tonight I will blog an event about this topic, where lawyers will participate.
