<p>These bloggers feel snubbed and threatened by the new brand guidelines, which they find contradictory, excessive and potentially restrictive to free speech, and are going on <a href="http://gwynethllewelyn.net/2008/03/26/second-life-bloggers-require-clarification/">a symbolic three-day strike as a gesture to show that they do not find Linden Lab's answers to these concerns sufficient</a>.</p><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/linden-lab-sparks-bloggers-strike/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Linden Lab sparks bloggers strike</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/linden-lab-sparks-bloggers-strike/">Linden Lab sparks bloggers strike</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:15:00 EST.

It's Sciamachy Moran's rather clever play on words to describe how he feels about Linden Lab's new brand center and the new inSL trademark program. We've spent the last couple days catching up with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/second-life"><em>Second Life</em></a> users in-world, and checking out what they have to say on their blogs and assorted forums.</p>
<p>There <em>are</em> people saying positive things about the change. We counted only eleven positive comments among the mass of material.</p><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/26/second-life-users-inslted-by-new-brand-center/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Second Life users inSLTed by new brand center</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/26/second-life-users-inslted-by-new-brand-center/">Second Life users inSLTed by new brand center</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:30:00 EST.
