Second Life.... strange place.

So I signed up for an account with second life. What a weird experience. I suppose I should not be surprised that people use their "second life" as a way to act and dress without inhibitions or repercussions.
Everyone I meet is some freaky vampire wannabe or a gothic "cookie cutter" dweeb and they only want to talk about sex or how they are so hot. (yes I used the word "dweeb" but it's okay because I am 30 years old and I am comfortable with being in my own skin)
I have been logging a few hours a week for 3 weeks now and I always feel like because I am new there, no one sees me. I have not been able to get anyone to help me or even talk to me. I could not figure anything out until just recently. I met a member who told me how to get new clothing, and how to customize my avatar. He even gave me 500 virtual dollars to get started. (no I did not have to do anything for it, this dude was actually pretty normal)
So finally second life is opening up to me. I still find it a little odd and boring, but connecting with just the one person has been enough to make me want to stick around a little longer and try to talk to more people.
here are some screen shots:

EFF Search about DMCA

So this is the main article I looked at.

It seems to be that the DMCA, like most acts that deal with copyright, has been perverted and used against people or organizations that it shouldn't. I think that the only thing we can do is hope the proper changes are made to it but more importantly, the proper regulations and rules need to be carefully created and implemented to protect to the right people.
The problem is, the internet is so damn big and so easily accesed and used that this task is nearly impossible.
Its just like any of our natural resources or public services, it needs to be properly regulated with special attention paid to the needs of the consumer.
