2. On Virtual Worlds… “ Every library doesn’t need to have a separate library in a virtual world like Second Life so it offers and ideal way to test collaborative service models. Working in 3-D and in real-time is a way to get a fresh perspective on traditional library services and on seeing how to present resources. Some librarians are extending normal services into SL, for example, a map/gis librarian has begun offering GIS consulting at regularly scheduled times on info island. I’m interested in bringing government information resources and services into second Life…the collaborative opportunities are a good fit for this kind of online resource.” Hyacinth Cortes “ I see Second Life as a cost-effective way to collaborate on ideas and projects. And once we've designed something in Second Life, it's easier to communicate our vision and make it a reality.” Lyra Weston

16. Intellectual Property It’s all yours… it is built into the code “ Second Life has taken the Creative Commons license a step further… Creators in Second Life can mark their content with the license they want. If it is marked with a CC license, someone can take a picture of it without express permission. If it is not marked with a license, then if you try to take a picture of it, the object will be invisible.” “ If a right is violated, it gets remedied through the law.” Lessing, Lawrence. Code: Version 2.0. New York: Basic Books. 2006 CC Atribution-ShareAlike Machinima: Filmmakers are migrating to Second Life as it is one of few games or game-like spaces where machinima can be created and used/sold commercially. Few games offer this freedom.
