Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?

https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

I posted in the forum today some thoughts about Age Verification and OpenSim wondering what you guys are doing with it.

Age Verification strategies for OpenSimulator and the HG
Since there are 24 US states and the UK requiring age verification it seems this is going to inevitably change the way OpenSimulator functions. Denying it, protesting, waiting for it to go away, or saying it's impossible - won't last long in my opinion. I think the EU will probably follow suit with laws.

I personally think Geofencing is boo-boo and doesn't work. Right now you'd have to block half the USA and all of the UK and then comes EU. Might as well just unplug and go home I guess.

So i'm thinking about what I need to do on my grids. Here are the strategy/rules i've been thinking about and would love feedback.

Public Image Ltd – Die Anfänge einer experimentellen Formation

Die Geschichte von Public Image Ltd (PiL) ist untrennbar mit dem Ende der Sex Pistols verbunden. Nach deren Implosion 1978 war John Lydon, ehemals Johnny Rotten, desillusioniert von der kommerziellen Vereinnahmung des Punk. Er gründete PiL nicht nur als Band, sondern als „Firma“ – Public Image Ltd. – ein bewusster Akt, um die kreative und finanzielle Kontrolle zurückzugewinnen. Dieser Schritt, inspiriert vom Roman „The Public Image“ von Muriel Spark, war Lydons Versuch, sein öffentliches Bild neu zu definieren und eine Karriere aufzubauen, die auf Innovation statt auf Skandalen basierte.

TODAY at 2 pm Grid time, don't miss it, the Medieval Event at our newest region - Leshmor. I'm writing a book about this region and Amasango, which I am hoping will develop into roleplay. That said, you DO NOT have to be a role player to enjoy this region's beauty and diversity which blends realistic with fantasy natural with unnatural and physical with corporeal with spectral. There is so much to discover and to enjoy so I invite you to visit whenever you can and IF you can come to our celebration at 2 pm. Everyone is welcome.
TIME: 2 pm
PLACE: grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Leshmor (There is a magical walk-through portal at the point of arrival that will bring you directly to the party.)
BARD: DJ - Maldrul Smith
HOSTED BY: Yours Truly
DRESS CODE: Medieval - formal

Coming up on Saturday, August 23rd, GRPG will be holding its event here on Leshmor, also known as the Leshmor Islands. It is a Medieval event, so be sure to put on your best medieval garb and come join us in Queen Apsonsi's victory celebration, and let's have a "ball". This is a royal celebration, so make sure you come dressed for it, and let's party like it's 1199. The TIME will be 2pm grid time, and the route to take is grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Leshmor. If you have an interest in this story and being a part of it or creating a character for it, message me, and we'll talk. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
