As you probably all know, Curio's Gala Phoenix is currently in the midst of legal issues which
have resulted in her content being removed from the grid, pending the
outcome of her legal battle. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA) process in Second Life requires that when there is legal action
taken against your content, Linden Lab will remove it from the grid
until a ruling is made. Gala's fellow content creators have come
together to host a fundraiser to help with the enormous amount of
legal fees she will have to bare in order to fight these baseless
claims.
The fundraiser will be held from July 9-15, with a blogger preview on July 8th.
Some participants include Flowey, BareRose, Black Lace, Belleza, Ingenue, Laq, Luck Inc, One Bad Pixel, Gos, Truth, Bent, Fawn, Cupcake, evolve, Glam Affair, ely, Lassitude & Ennui, Zanzibar, Adorkable, Ikon, League and many more.
This fundraiser is not only to help Gala Phoenix, but to also take a stand for the community of content creators, for many of whom SL is their main source of income. This could happen to any one of us, and it's necessary that we stand up and fight back to ensure that it doesn't.
Please contact Sophia Harlow or OMGWTF Barbecue if you'd like to participate as a content creator or blogger, and join the inworld group One Voice for updates and the LM when we open!

I feel so terrible for Gala, having to pay for the insecurity of another. Let's support her as much as possible!
