OH MY GOD
OLD RULES HAVE BEEN ERASED FROM THE ANNALS OF HISTORY
WE'RE DOOMED

oh wait

there's a coool website called 'goggle' or 'goolag', or something similar,
and it has got a cached version of the pages you're talking about:
http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:jtTdHKjYaWwJ:secondlife.com/corpora...

...unbelievable! :-)

oh, wait again

there's also the WayBack Machine of the Internet Archive (sometimes it's a bit choked)

THE INTERNETS NEVER FORGET!

Much ado for nothing in the SLogosphere about this new policy, I'd say. I don't think any amateur website will ever be shut down by Linden Lab, even if it violates their trademarks. Commercial websites are a different issue and I'd say Linden Lab's take is fine about that. This new policy looks like pretty common practice to me.
