Analysis of the new Bragg v Linden filingJuly 2nd, 2007 |
Linden Lab has filed a response, and The Forge has an analysis.
Am I going to need to revamp the blog categories to add “legal,” “RMT,” and other such tags? Sigh.

Interesting. I think second life probably has more RP than any other mmorpg out there. I guess that saying, “It’s not denial. I’m just selective about the reality I accept.†fits well in this case.
One thing about all this, it’ll begin to define legal claims to “stuffs”, so we can get a handle on what’s what. The ramifications might reach a long ways into RMT, taxation, etc.
I’m sort of anticipating resolutions (or at least expecting the proccess to start), and sort of affraid.
I wonder if, once this is all said and done, Linden will come to the conclusion that reserving all legal rights to all ingame virtual land / goods / etc is really the only way to run a for-profit virtual world.

I agree. They opened the floodgates for all kinds of problems, and I don’t think they can sustain their product under these circumstances. I’m sure they’d argue that point, but time will show how it just doesn’t work.
