Law and Virtual Worlds
Greg Lastowka writes "In light of yesterday's spirited discussion of the Shadowbane hack, I thought folks might be interested in this forthcoming article about the laws of virtual worlds. The article has three parts: 1) a history of virtual worlds (e.g. Space War --> MMORPGs), 2) a theoretical analysis of whether virtual world "property" can/should be treated as legal property, and 3) an analysis of whether virtual worlds can/should give rise to any other legal rights, i.e. rights of avatars -- an idea first floated by Raph Koster. I realize there are plenty of strongly-held and divergent opinions on this, so hopefully this might add to the ongoing conversation. Also, we're revising this for publication over the summer, so we will be reading the comments for any corrections/insights/humor that we can incorporate into our revisions."

Two thousand slashfucks wan't to suck off that fat fuck cowboy neal!

Got a silly offtopic question for you, well kind of a rhetorical question.
I personally do not know your view point of Christianity and such, but I am going to assume that you flow along with most of slashdot's anti-Christian undertones.
Who is Jesus Christ to you? Why is he fucking or tapdancing?
My point is, why could you not have choosen "Straight fucking tapdancing Jacket?" Why use Jesus Christ?
My point is more this. If, you don't believe in Christianity, why use the name at all, as you do not believe Jesus as the Christ. Might as well use any random name. Or do you believe in Christianity yet wish to openly rebel against it? At which point I would ask why. The other posibility that I see is that you don't believe yet actively want to just spew forth from your mouth/fingers acid and venom. Yet, seeing how you are a Friend of a Friend I would assume that is not the case. Perhaps you just have not looked at why you said "Jesus fucking tapdancing christ."
