I hope that because your post was a reaction to mine, people will NOT think that I share your ideals in the same anarchistic way. I feel the need to state that I don't.
First of all, I have a good friend in-world that makes his living in-world. And I'd do anything to help him, because he is a very cool, nice person and everything he does (and sells) is his own original and hard work. Secondly, this mailinglist, and this thread in particular is to wake up Linden Lab with the GOAL of a better communication. Shouting that "we hackers" should force them to "free" Second Life content by breaking the law is hardly constructive. My goal is that Linden Lab becomes less secretive and more open about their plans and designs before those are set in stone; the only reasonable goal can be one where then a civil and professional discussion follows where everyone has their say, after which LL (with new insights) makes their decision and convinces everyone of the real reasons why they make that decision (thus not: "the users want this", but "sorry, you are right, but we can't do that because we a for-profit company". Whatever the argument, if it was correct I'd shut up.
