There is a simple answer for this. You are the customer of your landlord in this case, not Linden Lab. Yes, you have a Second Life account, but you are not renting your land from Linden Lab. You are renting your land from another avatar in Second Life. Linden Lab is not a party to your decision to rent... so why are they accountable if some other avatar bails out and decides to "level their city block"? If the landlord decided to stop renting, boot everyone off and re-terraform the region for some completely different use, would you think Linden Lab would have any responsibility for stopping that or somehow compensating you? It's the landlord's land, and they can do anything with it they choose to, including shut it down, leave, take it over from the renters, or shut it down and let no one else in at all. Joel
