Simplified, the big road block to mass acceptance is PRICE. The next biggest obstacle is Content Quality.
Lately, we have had more articles and videos appearing that deal with or touch on Rights Infringement, theft. Hamlet on New World Notes posted Linden Lab Updates IP Enforcement Policies To Make DMCA Process Stricter.
He points us to a significant warning now included in the Policy statement.
If you are unsure whether you hold rights to a particular work, or whether the content you are reporting is infringing your legal rights, please consult an attorney before filing a DMCA Notice. Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing.
I agree with Hamlet the purpose is more to scare than actually bite. But, it certainly opens the door for the Lab to go after those filing frivolous DMCA notices.
I came across this. Made by JP Gaming and posted in December 2016.
Well done an no porn. Check JP’s channel. There is a series of SL trailers.
I picked the game form the Top Five listed over on Road to VR. These are rated as some of the best VR games available. I think this is a good example of the radical game play possible.
This next one shows the excitement possible.
There is hope for VR. But, it is hard to know how many people will like VR enough to spend some money.
Apparently, an AvaStar update was released July 3rd. I’m just seeing it today. Download – You have to have purchased AvaStar for the link to work right.
Beautiful, cute picture with Bento hands. The sentiment is debatable…
This is interesting…
