160d/article/npirl.blogspot.com');">Not Possible In Real Life</a> asking the question: <a href="http://npirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/proper-attribution-of-images-taken-in.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/npirl.blogspot.com');"><em>“What is the correct (and legal) way to attribute photography and video shot in virtual worlds?”</em></a> I was going to leave a comment there, but there’s really no way to answer this question off the cuff, so I’m turning it into a post instead. You should definitely visit the post at NPIRL too, particularly for the ethics of the situation; I’ll focus on the legal questions here. The bottom line? At least under the law as it currently stands, in-world shutterbugs need to be very careful — more careful than they would be in real life.</p> 161<p><a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright1.jpg" ><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1673" title="Image Components Copyright Linden Lab" src="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright1.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="166" /></a>Here’s the setup. In a virtual world like Second Life, users have the ability to create things (like buildings, clothing, avatar appearances, and more) and the users retain intellectual property rights in these creations. Users can also take screenshots of this world, including these creations. So one user makes a 3D building in a public part of the world using the world’s creation tools, and then she logs off. The building, of course, stays in the world, since that’s the whole point of persistent spaces. Later, another user comes along and takes a screenshot of that building with a model-avatar standing in front of it. The model is wearing a red dress, a complex hairstyle, and a “skin,” all from different content creators.</p> 162<p>So that’s our picture. An avatar wearing a virtual red dress standing in front of a cool building in a virtual world. The questions are:</p> 163<ul> 164<li>What rights do the users who created the building, the model’s skin, the model’s hairstyle, and the model’s dress have in their creations?</li> 165</ul> 166<ul> 167<li>What rights does the screenshot-taker have?</li> 168</ul> 169<ul> 170<li>What obligations does the screenshot-taker have to the creators of the building, the skin, the hairstyle, and the outfit?</li> 171</ul> 172<p><strong>Copyright Law and Real Life Creations</strong></p> 173<p>It’s awfully tempting to drop back to real life for an answer. After all, the virtual world looks a lot like the real one. And in real life, photographers can take pictures of many (though not all) things without worrying about a copyright lawsuit. The problem is, that may not translate to the virtual world. We have to take a look at what copyright law actually protects to see why.</p> 174<p>Copyright <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun
174d/article/www.copyright.gov');">protects</a> “<span class="main_txt">original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture” that are “</span>fixed in a tangible form of expression.”</p> 175<p>So in real life, copyright law generally prohibits a photograph of a model sitting on the <a href="http://garden.walkerart.org/artwork.wac" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/garden.walkerart.org');"><em>Spoonbridge and Cherry</em></a> sculpture, a model embedded in a film cell from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.imdb.com');"><em>Titanic</em></a>, or a model posing with poster-sized blowups of pages of text from my book, <a href="http://www.abanet.org/abastore/productpage/5450052" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.abanet.org');"><em>Virtual Law</em></a>. But the scene with the model in a red dress in front of a building on a public street? In real life, that’s probably just fine.</p> 176<p>That’s because copyright law generally <span class="main_txt">does <em>not </em>protect real-world clothing (because it is deemed a “<a href="http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/unprotected.html#useful" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun
176d/article/www.bitlaw.com');">useful article</a>“) nor does it protect hairstyles and makeup (because they are not “fixed in a tangible form of expression”). And though copyright law <em>does </em>protect architecture (at least for plans for and designs of buildings constructed after December 1, 1990), taking pictures of and creating artistic works using buildings that are ordinarily visible from public places is specifically allowed. </span>These limitations on copyright law may not mean much in the virtual world, however.</p> 177<p><strong>Copyright Law and Virtual World Creations</strong></p> 178<p>The problem with applying real world copyright law concepts here is that virtual dresses, hairstyles, personal appearances, and buildings are not exactly the same as real world dresses, hairstyles, personal appearances, and buildings.</p> 179<p>Real world hairstyles and various components of individual appearances are generally not protected by copyright because they either are not enumerated in the code, because they are not “fixed in a tangible medium,” or, regarding certain personal appearance attributes, because they do not represent “creative works.” Dresses and other clothing designs are not protected because they are “useful articles” and copyright law only protects “creative works.” <a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright3.jpg" ><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1675" title="Image Components Copyright Linden Lab" src="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright3.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="166" /></a>Buildings have special rules that protect their designs, but these rules do not protect them from photography or other artistic interpretation when they can be viewed from public places.</p> 180<p>In the virtual world, however, every dress, hairstyle, avatar “skin,” and building is really a tiny piece of online software, and online software, including the output of the software to the screen, <em>is </em>protected by copyright. There’s even a <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ66.pdf" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun
180d/article/www.copyright.gov');">copyright office circular</a> (.pdf) describing how to go about registering the copyright in what the office describes as “works accessed via network (websites, homepages, and FTP sites) and files and documents transmitted and/or downloaded via network.”</p> 181<p><strong>The Debate</strong></p> 182<p>If I’m a content creator, I’m going to argue that when I am making something in Second Life, I am functionally writing code using the graphical interface Linden Lab provides me, and that code should be protected. Alternatively, I’m making digital art using tools that are only trivially different than those in a program like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_(software)" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Maya</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">Blender</a>. For some creations (such as virtual world animation packages that cause certain expressions and sounds) the code is obvious; the scripts are written in a formal scripting language. For others, such as buildings, the code is relatively hidden, but there is a good argument that building a skyscraper in Second Life is just “coding” one using a graphical user interface that operates as an overlay on the code, or that it is, at minimum, no different than any other creative work made using software. Certainly, no one disputes that artistic creations built using software (such as most of the second Star Wars trilogy) are protected works.</p> 183<p>On the other hand, if I’m a virtual world photographer, I’m going to argue that there’s a real-life parallel here, and that buildings, personal appearances, clothing, and other objects in a virtual world should not be protected to any greater degree than they are in the real world.</p> 184<p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p> 185<p>With the caveat that no case has directly addressed this, I believe that the “code” argument will carry the day because it is simpler, it preserves the public policy arguments behind the real-world exceptions, and mainly, because holding <a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright2.jpg" ><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1674" title="Image Components Copyright Linden Lab" src="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copyright2.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="166" /></a>otherwise would undermine the now fairly well-established body of software copyright law.</p> 186<p>Many of the comments following the <a href="http://npirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/proper-attribution-of-images-taken-in.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun
186d/article/npirl.blogspot.com');">post on this at NPIRL</a> that got me thinking about this in the first place speculate about just how much attribution is necessary when incorporating other people’s work into one’s derivative creations, but I think that the question is largely irrelevant. If you want to incorporate somebody else’s artistic work into your own you are supposed to seek permission from the copyright holder. And if you don’t, the copyright holder can sue you — attribution, no matter how extensive, is simply not enough.</p> 187<p>Brad Templeton, Chairman of the Board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation covers this in a <a href="http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.templetons.com');">post entitled “10 Big Myths About Copyright Explained”</a>.</p> 188<blockquote><p>U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called “derivative works” — works based or derived from another copyrighted work — is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work. This is true even though the making of these new works is a highly creative process.</p></blockquote> 189<p>There are exceptions to this, of course, which generally get lumped together in the catch-all concept of “fair use.” These include criticism (which I’d argue covers my use of screenshots of in-world scenes in this article) and parody. The scope of fair use is beyond this article, but for readers who are interested in learning more, the <a href="http://" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun
189d/article/');">Wikipedia entry on fair use</a> is a good place to start, particularly the list of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Common_misunderstandings" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/en.wikipedia.org');">common misunderstandings of fair use</a>.</p> 190<p>This all means that with the exception of limited situations where fair use exceptions apply, I am pretty comfortable concluding that under the law as it stands, selling or otherwise making available derivative works comprising images shot in Second Life of other people’s creations, in most cases, does not qualify for fair use protection and is actionable as copyright infringement.</p> 191<p>The easiest way for a content owner to deal with potential infringement is probably via the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy of the site where content is hosted. For a private site, that’s probably the site’s web host, and for third party content hosting sites like Flickr and YouTube, the site provider itself typically offers DMCA takedown procedures. Linden Lab, of course, has a <a href="http://secondlife.com/corporate/dmca.php" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outboun

The motion to dismiss the fraud claims against Rosedale and Kapor was expected. Because of historical misuse of fraud claims, plaintiffs must plead fraud “with specificity” alleging specific fraudulent statements and explaining why the statements are fraudulent. <em>VB </em>does not speculate on rulings in active cases, but I will note generally that fraud claims are often dismissed on these grounds.</p> 274<p>Minsky’s formal Answer to Linden Lab’s counterclaims is fairly straightforward, generally consisting of boilerplate affirmations and denials, as is traditional in formal Answers in U.S. legal proceedings.  Minsky, who represents himself in this action, does include more argument in his Answer than is typical — for example, Minsky admits that he agreed to the Second Life Terms of Service, as Linden Lab alleges, but then argues that <a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/2007/06/01/bragg-v-linden-update-motions-to-dismiss-and-compel-arbitration-denied/" >another court found the TOS in part unconscionable</a> — but otherwise the Answer is unremarkable.</p> 275<p>Up next? The beginning of discovery, and a likely decision from the court on Minsky’s <a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/2008/10/13/slart-cannery-tro/" >earlier motion</a> alleging that Linden Lab is not in complaince with the <a href="http://virtuallyblind.com/2008/10/28/slart-update-minsky-and-linden-lab-agree-to-keep-temporary-restraining-order-active-until-trial/" >preliminary injunction</a> the parties agreed to covering SLART infringement claims while this case is pending.</p> 276 277 </p> 278 </div> 279 280 281<div class="entry"><font size="-3"> 282<a href="https://virtuallyblind.com/2008/11/09/motion-to-dismiss/emailpopup/" onclick="email_popup(this.href); return false;" title="Email This Post" rel="nofollow"><img class="WP-EmailIcon" src="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-email/images/email.gif" alt="Email This Post" title="Email This Post" style="border: 0px;" /></a> <a href="https://virtuallyblind.com/2008/11/09/motion-to-dismiss/emailpopup/" onclick="email_popup(this.href); return false;" title="Email This Post" rel="nofollow">Email This Post</a> 283<br /><a href="https://virtuallyblind.com/2008/11/09/motion-to-dismiss/print/" title="Print This Post (Printer Friendly Formatting)" rel="nofollow"><img class="WP-PrintIcon" src="http://virtuallyblind.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-print/images/print.gif" alt="Print This Post (Printer Friendly Formatting)" title="Print This Post (Printer Friendly Formatting)" style="border: 0px;" /></a> <a href="https://virtuallyblind.com/2008/11/09/motion-to-dismiss/print/" title="Print This Post (Printer Friendly Formatting)" rel="nofollow">Print This Post (Printer Friendly Formatting)</a> 284</p></font> 285</div> 286
