I was there, and SL was much more talked about than There was. Probably 90% of all conversations were about WoW and SL to the point where it would have seemed (to an outsider) that those were the only games anyone cared about, even though There was sponsoring.

For example, if my stuff has value, and I quit, the company gets my stuff. Thus I am eligible for a deduction on lost property, and the company has net income from my quitting, unless they destroy it. And that raises another thought. If virtual items have value, what opportunities does this afford companies which can create or destroy items with trivial amounts of effort? Could companies use manipulation of virtual assets to modify their tax position advantageously? It occurs to me that the tangles with taxing ingame transactions is even murkier than people think.
