These petitions show up all the time, mostly in my inbox, and they're all rather pointless. If LL determined Intlibber Brautigan was violating the terms of service, what would happen? They'd either A) kill his account or B) give him time to amend or cease whatever practice he was violating. What they wouldn't do is demand that he return everyone's money. So if that's what you want, find another means. If you want "justice," then you picked the wrong world to live in. Soz.

This idea that LL represents the legal interests of its users is rather absurd. Do you know why LL banned gambling? Because of the Safe Port Act and it's attached Unlawful Internet Gambling Act. Yes, you live in Zanzibar, but LL is in Cali. I'll note that various internet gambling establishes across the globe refused US players. Not all, of course. While the debate in congress focused around censoring versus protecting (i.e. children's access to gambling versus Rep. Barney Frank's argument that it impeded on civil liberties), I'll leave it to you. Point? LL was covering THEIR asses. Same holds for the Banking ban. People suggest Luke Connell was tipped off by someone at LL. Seems every bit as reasonable that LL was tipped off or warned.

Here's an interesting one from the TOS: 7.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and the relationship between you and Linden Lab shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.

Play with that. Back to studying I go.
