LL Ignores TOS Violation?

Anshe Chung has broken the TOS by buying two and possibly more accounts, without LL approval. The known accounts purchased are Vicious Volos and Zoey Jade, with a third being possible but not confirmed. The section broken is 3.5 of the TOS (see below) which states you can not transfer accounts to third parties without written consent by LL. This also means Vicious Volos, Zoey Jade, and others would be held accountable as well.

Not only is transfering accounts without consent against the TOS, it also leaves open the personal information of the person selling the account.

While LL does not openly discuss any action they are taking for violations, there is often evidence when they do take action, such as an entry in the police blotter, people complaining on forums, in blogs, etc.. Of which none of these have shown up, which leads me to believe that LL is ignoring this issue all together.

All people, no matter who they are, or what they do, should be held accountable against the same TOS and should recieve the same punishment as anyone else. I do not think LL would allow any other person to get by with such violations.

This matter shouldn’t be ignored.

3.5 Unique Accounts; No Transfer. When an account is created the address on the account must match the address or other unique identifier on the credit card or other payment or identification method. You may register multiple accounts per credit card or other payment method but will only receive one trial period for the card or other payment method in any 3-month period and each additional account on one credit card or payment method will begin its billing when the account is created. You may not transfer your Account to any third party without the prior written consent of Linden.
