FROM THE LINDENS: Goodbye Jennnnna Jameson



I just received this email today :(

Dear Jennnnna,


We are contacting you about your use in Second Life of the name and identity of the celebrity Jenna Jameson.


We ask that Second Life residents respect the rights of celebrities in their name and identity.  We would ask that you stop using the names Jennnnna Jameson and Jenna Jameson within Second Life, we would also ask that you stop using photos or images of the celebrity Jenna Jameson.


Within the next two (2) days, please either reply to this email or submit a Support ticket (http://support.secondlife.com/), to the attention of Harry Linden, and please provide us with:


(1) A new first name for your Second Life avatar, and 
(2) A new name for your Second Life group named "Jenna Jameson."


Your new names must not infringe or be confusingly similar to the name Jenna Jameson.  For example, the name Jennasis Jameson would not be acceptable.  
Please also remove all photos and images of the celebrity Jenna Jameson and any other uses of her identity.


If you do not do so, we will disable your access to Second Life until you contact us with appropriate new names for your avatar and group.  We will also remove all photos, images, and other uses of Jenna Jameson's identity if you do not do so.


Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.


Sincerely,


Harry Linden


I thought the note was nice enough by Harry, and I do not want anyone to be mean to him if you write the Lindens.

I am sad though and I will ask to keep my name.

In the meantime if you have suggestions for a new name, leave it in the comments please.

Thanks.


Love,

Jennnnna (for one more day)
