Real Estate, and Second Estate
Most of you are certainly familiar with real estate, and aware that it’s a business field in which good salesmen get rich quickly, and foolish proprietors can lose or gain huge amounts of money based on their choices (price, real estate agent, etc).
Second Life is no different than that, despite it’s clearly a platform that allows novell forms of transactions and, therefore, of quarrelling.
It’s the case of Mark Bragg, a lawyer that used a dirty (but maybe legal) trick to win a virtual land (called SIM, short for Simulation) auction for a very low price; he basically hacked the URL of the auction page.
Linden Lab canceled this transaction, and Bragg sued them.
I think that this case is very clear: you trick, they discover you, you lose. But we’ll see where the american justice will bring this issue, and who’ll be the winner.
