 Linden Lab has settled the Bragg lawsuit, which means that the industry has once again managed to dodge legal questions regarding ownership of “virtual property.” The settlement is confidential, so we don’t know what the monetary result was.

Linden Research, Inc., Philip Rosedale, and Marc Bragg have agreed to settle the “Bragg v. Linden and Rosedale” lawsuit currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The parties agree that there were unfortunate disagreements and miscommunications regarding the conduct and behavior by both sides and are pleased to report that Mr. Bragg’s “Marc Woebegone” account, privileges and responsibilities to the Second Life community have been restored.  For the benefit of the Second Life community, the Parties have mutually agreed that the terms of their resolution shall remain confidential.  The Parties ask that this confidentiality be respected.

    You know, I’d rather they just say, “Because it’s none of your business, etc. etc.”.

    The notion that being kept ignorant is for my own good is just startlingly offensive – so much so that it annoyed me despite my not even being a part of the SL community (though I still count as a resident or two, I think).

    But “It’s none of your business” on the other hand… ‘Couldn’t argue with that.
