By Mitch Wagner A friend from Second Life IM'd me this evening, wanting to know if I posted messages to the Second Citizen forums saying how much I hate "newbs." Because I am always alert, I responded: "Huh?" She pointed me to this thread where someone signing his name as "Mitch Wagner" writes about how he hates newbs.
Second Citizen is a forum for discussion of Second Life. This thread is better. "Mitch Wagner" does a decent parody of my writing and observes (correctly) that registering for the Second Citizen is difficult READ THE REST HERE:

n Sunday's Nation section you reprinted an article from the Washington Post about crimes in virtual reality ("Are crimes in virtual reality subject to real laws?").
The first crime cited was of a virtual rape occurring in an online world called Second Life. This crime, by the very nature of the Second Life, is impossible. No such event can occur without the active, consensual participation of all parties involved. The use of this as an example of online crime is nothing but an attempt to use our reaction to the accusation of rape to create headlines.

Last year there was some commotion in the Second Life community about a player that abused a glitch in the actionsystem to buy some land that wasn't even up for auction very cheap. Linden Labs, developer of Second Life, hereby closed the persons account on grounds of voilating their Terms of Service. As it turns out this player, Marc Bragg, is a lawyer and what do lawyers do? Right, they sue people for the craziest things.

Following on from the is second life a game post the other day, I had a totally different outlook to second life after reading some of the comments left by users of the virtual world (and no it does not seem to be a game).
I have since seen that people trade everyday and earn money from second life as well as doing many things they cannot in this life, but I was left with the question “Do laws still count in second life?"

The timeline of developing nations is littered with the husks of communities which have fallen at social challenge. Buoyed by initial triumphs and new ideas, their populations swell, but when a divisive innovation is introduced, formerly strong ties dissolve.

A lawsuit over virtual property is being played out in a very real courtroom as a Pennsylvania judge has denied two motions by Linden Labs, creators of Second Life, to allow them to shut down an attorney’s account, reports Ars Technica.
Pennsylvania attorney Marc Bragg says his Second Life property is worth thousands of dollars and has accused Linden Labs and CEO Philip Rosedale of wrongfully seizing his virtual land by shutting down his account. He’s asking the public to help fund his legal battle.
