Our Content Management Roadmap
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I'll let you know up front that it is lengthy, because we feel that you deserve the opportunity to hear in depth what we are thinking, and doing, regarding content management in Second Life. Resident-created content is the heart and soul of Second Life, and we want to help you continue to benefit from the amazing creativity you have displayed inworld. When you are successful, Second Life is a better world for all of us – more inspiring, more spontaneous, and more fun!
We are committed to empowering content creators to better manage and control their content. Taking a holistic approach to content management, we are hard at work on new and improved content tools, programs, and policies. Because we know that content management is of paramount importance to our community, we're going to lay out our current plans, and then invite you to help us shape them to best meet the community's needs.
Right now, we are pursuing a multi-pronged approach:
- Improvements to our intellectual property complaint process, enabling intellectual property owners to submit online requests that we search for and remove all copies of an identified item created by a particular Resident;
- Promotion of standard industry practices for tools copying content from Second Life to help protect against intellectual property infringement;
- A content seller program to help the community trade content safely and trust one another;
- Clarifications to and updating of our policies to promote awareness of intellectual property and protect against infringement; and
- Development of “sticky licenses,” or additional licensing metadata, for content to help facilitate a content marketplace outside our hosted Second Life virtual world.
