A number of sources (paidContent.org, the Inquisitr, the Metaverse Journal, Second Life: the Music...) are covering the recent decision by Linden Lab to crack down on adult content.

"Essentially, Linden Lab have decreed that any adults-only content on the mainland of Second Life will eventually be relocated to a new continent," according to Metaverse. By some reports as much as 30% of Second Life's economy is based on adult content.
