More Second Life Lawsuits

Just last week, Eros LLC was finally able to name a John Doe in its trademark case, and now Eros is caught up in another suit. Along with five other Second Life content creators, the company has filed suit against Second Life user Thomas Simon for copyright and trademark infringement after Simon allegedly duplicated and sold thousands of products using the avatar "Rase Kenzo." An extensive set of pictures on Flickr documents many of the supposedly copied objects among others from creators not currently involved in the suit. The story has already been picked up by the New York Post, and Virtually Blind has a thorough rundown on the filings and who's involved.
