Justin found this in Slate Magazine : “Terrorism has erupted in a huge, online fantasy world. Membership in Second Life has soared from 100,000 to 2 million in a year. Freeloaders and corporations selling real stuff are coming in; imaginary elves are leaving. The company that runs the world says it needs corporate money to keep it growing and going. Some old-timers, angry at the changes, stratification, and limits on democracy, have formed the “Second Life Liberation Army” and are virtually shooting people and detonating bombs outside chain stores to generate real publicity. The Liberation Army’s spin: We’re like the American revolutionaries. Left-wing view: Everything started going to hell when the corporations came in. Right-wing view: Everything started going to hell when the terrorists came in. Human Nature’s view: Everything started going to hell when the people came in.”
