I'm most likely wrong on this, but I always thought that the author
of something (say, an object in Second Life) always own copyright
(IP == copyright?) on it. Just because the terms of service may say
otherwise, that doesn't supercede copyright law, does it?
So if I'm right, this doesn't really change anything. Authors have
always owned their work, even if the producers of the authors' tools
don't realise this.
