Second Life's sense of humor... it's a parody!

This post from the Legal Blog Watch brought a smile to my face. It reports on the wonderful sense of humor of the attorneys over at Second Life.

A recent parody site, www.getafirstlief.com, reportedly invited SL to send a cease & desist letter. In response, SL attorneys evidently wrote:

[Y]our invitation to submit a cease-and-desist letter is hereby rejected. . . .

Linden Lab objects to any implication that it would employ lawyers incapable of distinguishing such obvious parody," Yoon wrote. "Linden Lab is well-known for having strict hiring standards, including a requirement for having a sense of humor, from which our lawyers receive no exception."

The note even gives Barefoot a "nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicenseable, revocable, limited license" to use the modified logo on T-shirts he sells.

That's a priceless response, in my opinion.
