The website Business Communicators of Second Life have posted a transcript of their talk with Benjamin Duranske, aka Benjamin Nobel, an attorney, founder of the SL bar association, and Virtually Blind blogger. They cover Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents and Registration, copying, are avatars real, will you sue me, fair use, IP rights, IP and SL objects (a picture of a picture), SL M&A’s, Contracts, Celebrities, and Audio Recordings and company avatars. Lots of good info and speculation, as there are more questions than there are answers currently when you talk about what and who owns what.

The time flew by, but this was one fascinating discussion, thanks to IP attorney, founder of the SL Bar Association, and Virtually Blind blogger, Benjamin Duranske, aka Benjamin Nobel. We covered a wide range of topics related to activities in Second Life and Benjamin kept up amazingly well with the flood of questions.

He promises to come back and meet with SL Business Communicators in a few months - and we’re going to hold him to it! Be sure to watch for announcements on his return. It is well worth your time to join in.

Thank you, Ben, for a thoroughly enlightening session. I encourage everyone to read his blog regularly. Source: Vitual Law Q&A Transcript: Benjamin Duranske at SL Business Communicators Meeting
