Comments on: Playboy Investigates Possible Trademark Infringement in Second Life http://virtuallyblind.com/2008/05/13/playboy-investigates-trademarks-in-second-life/ Legal Issues That Impact Virtual Worlds Tue, 13 May 2014 04:03:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Benjamin Duranske http://virtuallyblind.com/2008/05/13/playboy-investigates-trademarks-in-second-life/#comment-17351 Benjamin Duranske Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:24:12 +0000 http://virtuallyblind.com/2008/05/13/playboy-investigates-trademarks-in-second-life/#comment-17351 Thanks, Minced. No slight intended. I just meant that I couldn't tell from the piece what you had overheard, what you were surmising from the circumstances, what you were observing first hand, and what you'd gotten in interviews. Hamlet's piece, where he interviews Grosso, has more credibility because there are quotes that are identified with a source. No big deal. I think that a more casual style is pretty standard for CNN iReports, I just try to keep it really clear where information is coming from here. I'm glad you spotted this issue and wrote on it originally (and got the cool art). It is really interesting that Playboy is keeping tabs on this. Thanks, Minced. No slight intended.

I was logged on to Second Life and was at the store looking at the display when the Playboy Island managers teleported in. They received an IM about the towels from off-duty virtual bunny Haileigh Flanagan, which caused them to come to the store. See that photo in my Website link above.

Kudos to them.
