I try to do my best. (Although some are bloody serious. For the meta-me, that is.) Zorn, I think Mike ('s site) has mistaken the trademark symbol for a question mark. But we already knew his knowledge of 'copy writing' is limited. ;) Thank you Tiana. I try to do my best. (Although some are bloody serious. For the meta-me, that is.)

Note the question marks. They don't know if they are owned or operated by SL or LL? That is something you really should know about yourself.

I figured my case was stronger anyhow, even without laws to back it up. And I did remove the link. ;) Alexander, I knew about the 'permit and proceed' thingie. I thought of that as utter genius. Still do. What happened to that LindenLab and why was it repaced with the one that's currently running business? :( Wrath, thank you for your nomination and Andro and Looker, thanks for the support! Received an IM from Mike that's rather funny considering current circumstances, but I think - legally - I need his concent to post it, no? So Mike, would you please repeat your offer here in the comments? *grins* Nadine, I considered that, and what you are saying is something in the line I thought it was, but didn’t feel like looking up things or calling a friend I know that did his thesis on copyright laws.

That is far too hilarious, V! :-) --------- Only thing I can think of is maybe he had to pay a fee himself to use that artist's work on his website, and so didn't want others using it freely? Which still doesn't make sense, as he is using the picture as a almost sort of logo for the website, and you posted the name of the webiste together with the image, which would be free advertising for him... Oh well, either way, I'm not going to stop laughing any time soon. :-) This definitely gets nominated as a Post of the Year!!

I'm not sure about the copyright laws of other countries but the basics are about the same and in most countries you have the right to cite, and reproduce a small part of the material for a review is allowed. I loved your review of SLflirt.com, I can understand you being pissed of at them, I should. I would have replied with an and extract of §22 of the Swedish copyright law, maybe translated to English. I might have removed the link to there site however to make sure that they didn't get any traffic from my post. I'm sure that with out your review I would never have heard of them. But on the other had I don't need the dating service :^) Get to many IM's all the time already. Vint, I sure that you didn’t broke any Swedish copyright laws with your post.

People still might not take you seriously or give you much respect, but at least you won't look stupid. Okay, end of advice. No wait, I can't resist. The more you engage, the more we want to talk about it and the longer Vint's posts on SLFlirt will stay at the top of the search engine rankings. If you really want to promote your site, this crap is the absolute wrong way to go about doing it. Ever look at <a href="http://www.getafirstlife.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.getafirstlife.com/</a>? Linden Lab sent the creator a "permit and proceed" letter instead of a "cease and desist." Any press is good press, Mike, even Vint's awesome takedown of SL Flirt. I never would have looked at the site until she mentioned it.
