Quickly, I don't agree with
Quickly, I don't agree with all the "Virtual worlds are the new real worlds" kind of posts and comments.
Virtual worlds the "new Internet"? Maybe one day, not now. The L$ is real? Don't think so. It may be real, when it's converted into real currency, but at that stage it's not L$ anymore.
I've been inworld since November 2006. I had good luck and bad luck, I earned some L$. I never, ever changed any of my L$ into real world currency. Should any tax law apply to me? Don't think so.
When and if virtual worlds will be "universal" then a different approach should be used, but until then...
How far do we want to go, not tomorrow, but now? Should everybody who has a "SL job" earn a RL salary (comparable to the amount of time worked inworld) because all of the current wages are for sure under "federal minimum wages"? Do we want social security for our avatars? Will my avatar need a driving license to drive in virtual roads with a virtual car?
Sorry if I got carried away.
