    i think that we will see people leaving for the opensims more. now that script restrictions are happening. its such a shame to see all the nice things go. even the old scripting is now limited. LL has a hand that is slowly closing and i beg them to open it back up and give us our world back.

    I guess at some time there will be something like “country based login servers” coming, or proxies ot stuff so that each country can enforce it’s own restrictions and find out easily who earns money and needs to pay taxes.

    Flickr is applying country based filters, google is now for some time, too… really bad.
