I don't see that Katt Linden is failing at her job; she's doing her job, but it's not a job you like, that coddles the sense of entitlement to which the Fringe has long flogged us all.

Katt has in fact portrayed this issue brilliantly -- it's about PG, not banning a type of avatar. It's the Fringe trying to bang on Linden Lab and undo the PG that is the problem, not LL maintaining PG. There is nothing wrong with having PG in a public event meant to cover many different kinds of people in SL.

Many groups, especially merchants and creators, have banged on the Lab to "do something" about copyright theft. Now they are. They deserve thunderous applause for their too-little rather lame efforts just to keep them motivated and on track. If the scythe swiped too wide and proper content was removed, well, lobby to put it back; it's not a reason to attempt takedowns or removals.

However, the issue here is about G-team operations, not DMCA takedowns, and that's what the complaints should be focused on. Is there a policy now that all banned persons have their creations removed from the world? Then...why is Gene Replacement's megaprim still gracing builds like the IBM headquarters inSL?! Let's be consistent here. But let's also ask -- is that the right thing to do with permabans? I'm not certain it is, it needs a debate, but that's a different debate as to whether stolen material should be taken back or illegally-created items removed. If in the course of doing this, legal material is taken, it should be easy to make the case and get it reversed.
