VAGINA MONOLOGUES DEPART SL - PRODUCERS SEE PINK!
The much talked about in-world production of Eve Ensler's "Vagina Monologues" has been suspended, for now.
Late last week, the V-Day organization reluctantly rescinded its permission to mount two live performances of the controversial piece
in-world, due to concerns over possible breaches of broadcast rights.
SL's production of the "Vagina Monologues", the first of its kind for V-Day, was to have raised funds for its campaign to end violence
against women. To date, some 90,000 Linden haD been donated to the cause. Those funds were returned as of yesterday and a new donation drive will start shortly.
Despite the setback, SL Producers and cast members have rallied, TUESDAY AT 6PMSL. AT THE VLS sim theater, IN THE PINK will release to the press and public a momentus decision for women and SecondLife to go forward in a first in SecondLife. We hope you can attend.

I'm still astounded that both the VM organization and HBO fail to see the potential of SL. I hope "In the Pink" will hear from them soon.
ReplyDeleteIt also occurs to me that enterprising folks bringing "real world" content in world, need to be mindful of intellectual property considerations... and law.
I think the law wasn't adhered to here, but rather power.
