Linden Lab's Response to Recent Rumors of a Ban in Australia

[Claudia Linden]

Greetings, SLED community.

Linden Lab has received no indications from the Australian government
that it plans to block Second Life and will keep our community apprised
of any developments on that front. In the meantime, we want to assure
Australian Residents that Second Life remains accessible and functioning
in your region.

Australia has and will continue to be an important market for Linden
Lab, and we’re committed to providing the best possible Second Life
experience for the users in that market. Some of the most exciting uses
of Second Life have come out of Australia, a diverse community of
Residents that includes major universities, K12 schools (in Teen Second
Life), large enterprises and many thousands of consumers, who spend
hundreds of thousands of hours inworld each month.


Regards,

Claudia

Thanks very much for this, Claudia. It would be very nice if it could
go into the Official Blog, so that we could refer our prospects to it.
Some of them are seriously scared and abandoning their upcoming
projects in SL because of this misinformation... so it would be very
helpful if we could point them out to your official statement.
