Even though these icons exist – and we invented a thing about ownership — I really don’t think Uluru *belongs* to anybody, it belongs to the people, it is a work of art that was created geologically in earths history, LONG before white *or* dark man came along! For them to say that they had no permission is the weakest argument I’ve ever heard.

Everybody has a right to replicate any building… It’s not a copyright infringement to make a replica of the eiffel tower, or to draw the opera house on a piece of paper…

It’s taking the argument to a new level and in my opinion is just really stupid to even have a problem with it.

It is no more illegal/immoral than it is to take photographs of those same icons. A virtual world representation is nothing more than a 3D image of that icon. It should be under no more or less control than any other type of photograph. Of course it is OK to present an image of these landmarks in a virtual world.
