Actually, I think that the answers to your questions are clear from the published material, Lance, but here...

Will there be procedures in place to prevent someone from using a > display name that might be different from my true avatar name but for > all visual verification looks like it, given how there are unicode > characters that have a different code but look like regular > characters? No (this problem is intractable). > 3. Will there be procedures in place to prevent the case where someone > uses a copyrighted name of a fictional character (like, for example, > "Mickey Mouse" or "Clark Kent") as their display name? No. (no change from the current restrictions - the ToS does not allow the use of copyrighted or trademarked names anywhere, but any enforcement of that is outside the software). > 4. If the answer to any of the above is not a clear and loud yes: Will > there be procedures in place to protect the original holder of any > true avatar name from legal damages after someone used their name as > their display name for fraudulent uses? Matters of civil law are outside the scope of this list, and I don't believe the question is really answerable in any context. There are very good mechanisms in the new name system to make avatar identities (not the RL identities behind them) unambiguous. If you are engaging in any exchange with someone for which identity is important, you should learn how to use them. This list is really not the place for this discussion - the Display Names blog comment area is much better. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
