Meta News Xtra!
Coming this Saturday at 4PM SLT is the first ever, XTRA special edition of MetaNews Daily, SLPN’s daily news show all about virtual worlds and the issues relating to this.
This Thursday news broke from Australia that new legislation relating to online games that have a rating of 15+ would be blocked from Australia. (which Second Life would fall under due to a technicality)
There are a bunch of Australians that have a significant impact on virtual worlds, including Second Life. Need a few examples. Well for one there’s Treet.TV (formerly SLCN), Second Life’s biggest virtual television network and one of the big businesses to come from Second Life.
So I have decided to hold a special edition of our MetaNews show to specificially discuss the issues and have an open roundtable to discuss this issue. By open, i mean open.
I will be specifically inviting various Australians who reside in virtual worlds to talk about this over the next day to take part in this discussion.
This special edition of Meta News will take place at SL6B on our plot over on SL6B Cryo at http://slurl.com/secondlife/SL6B%20Cryo/150/223/23
The episode recording will be done in voice and takes place on Saturday at 4PM SLT. I encourage you to spread the word on this discussion and if your an Aussie, I HIGHLY encourage you to turn up for this discussion.
You are KIDDING ME; right?
WTH is going on down under? I mean, I would expect this out of the United States, only because our Politicians are so F***** UP; I had no idea that the Aussies were dealing with their own idiots.
I can’t believe that the Aussie version of the Supreme Court would let something like this stand. Let’s not forget that just last year the Aussie Govt was trying to enact a Filtering Law as well and that got tossed after very large protests from their citizens; perhaps this will have the same outcome. One could only hope.
