gagquin Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Virtual world site is hit with a real world lawsuitIt may be a 3D virtual world, but internet site Second Life is facing a real-world lawsuit by several firms claiming the site violated copyright and trademark laws. The lawsuit was filed last week in a federal court in Brooklyn, according to the New York Post. The site has 10 million registered users who create virtual identities known as avatars, where they can buy food, clothes, homes and businesses using real money. The lawsuit seeks damages equal to three times their lost profits. Thomas Simon, who runs the site, said: "It's a video game. I didn't know you could sue anyone over it."source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
