SLart Warfare
In a move guaranteed to enrage the art community, someone named ArtWorld Market has trademarked “slart.” The term has been around for a long time and is used by Second Life residents when they refer to inworld artwork. Since “SL” is commonly added to just about everything (”SLamazons, SLeek, SLiterary, SLesbians, SLarchitecture, SLawyer) it’s obvious that the reason it was able to be trademarked was that the government body in charge of trademarks has not got clue one when it comes to SLingo. To them it was probably a novel and ungainly little made-up word. Actually it’s a common, ungainly little word the use of which predates the trademarking and even the rezdate of the usurping avatar.
Vint Falken is fighting the good fight over at her blog.
