Movies and Machinima of SL - Something to keep in mind

If you are looking to use a video of Second Life materials for commercial usage/gain you have to email the Linden Labs licensing folks and get their permission.  They want to see some info from you like...

  • What your film's about?
  • Do you own rights to content featured in the film? If not, do you have permission from the creators?
And of course they want to see it and have your real contact info.  I often find that folks don't realize that they need to even get permission from the owner of the Venue or the content before they produce videos.  Often they use these videos to promote their "business" and that makes it a use for commercial gain. 

If you want to shoot video of the Moulin Rouge on the Moulin Rouge Island contact Kris Harmison, I am sure we can work something out.
