Day Four: Linden Issues

Well we finally got an X3 for Eshy, after all the asset problems that have been going on, I swear now that I have lost close to 10k worth of stuff that I cannot get reimbursed for because it was lost due to the screw-ups by the Lindens, they really need to improve their customer service and stuff, because if this were the real world and they were say a storage company, they cannot just go, oh we had a fire and all your stuff is destroyed sorry, if they valued their reputation they would offer some kind of replacement or something, or they would have lawsuits or something, but then my understanding of the US legal system concerning business is somewhat limited, but it just doesn't seem right what has been going on, it feels wrong to me morally and such, cause seeing as we have no control over asset problems and such, and then they always advise us about them way after we have discovered they are happening, I think they are liable for the losses, even though in the ToS they say the company cannot be held responsible for loss, well I read an article where a court ruled their ToS are a bunch of crap, I think its about time some law and justice came into the virtual world.
Yeah isn't it always like this some new technology or concept revolutionizes the way we live and interact, and the government comes in only when things get out of hand to mop up the problems they have been "too busy" to address, sort of trying to cover their asses, its sad really, they need a information technology person helping them or something lol, but then how can you really define jurisdiction in a virtual world, where there are technically no boundaries, borders, and stuff like that.

Wow, those are the longest sentences I have :ever: seen. I guess they don't accept liability for two reasons;

1 - As the thing is *completely gone*, they have no idea what it was and you can't prove you had it, or it was because of them that you lost it.

2 - They would go bankrupt.

Well, at least the x3 itself had nothing wrong with it, eh? :D

eshy they know you had it because they have transaction histories if you can find where it shows you purchased it you can prove you had it along with cooperation from the person you bought it from
