Legal Issues Seeping Into Virtual Worlds
Legal Issues Seeping Into Virtual Worlds
11/13/2003 02:55 PMJust in dealing with websites there have been all sorts of legal
questions about jurisdictions and do offline laws apply in an online
world. Now the issue is becoming even more complex as more and more
"virtual world" games are showing up - and actions in those virtual
worlds may seem very much like actions in the offline world. So the
question is whether or not those actions are just "part of the game"
or are they real actions with legal consequences. It's a very fine
line. We had mentioned this issue
a
couple months ago, but now some folks are holding
an entire
conference focused on the legal questions presented by online
gaming. Some think that the virtual worlds will be a good
"testing ground" for new laws and rules that could be applied in the
real world. However, others are simply focused on how offline laws
carry over into the online virtual worlds. If someone steals from
you, is it theft? If someone defames you, can you sue? The biggest
issue, it seems, is when real world money crosses over into the
virtual worlds. Once money gets involved, so does the law - which
could present problems for the crop of new games focused on bringing
in real money. In many cases, it seems that the company creating the
virtual world really is that world's government - and they make the
laws that apply within the sandbox of the virtual world. Still, many
people will undoubtedly try to pull things out of that sandbox and
into the very real world court system.

Legal Issues Facing Spam, Popups And
Spyware
01/03/2005 06:04 AMIt appears that politicians are increasingly paying attention to
internet "evils" along the lines of spyware, spam and popups. In all
cases, these are instances where the openness of the network has been
abused, creating certain problems. However, it's not clear that any
of these legislative solutions are likely to do any good. We already
pointed out how
ineffec
tive CAN SPAM has been, but a few interesting things happened over
the weekend in the areas of popups and spyware. First, a Utah court
ruled that
pop up
ads were not covered by an anti-spam law in that state. The law
in question is no longer in effect, so it doesn't really matter -- but
it does suggest that the idea of using "unsolicited" email legislation
against other forms of "unsolicited" advertising is unlikely to get
very far. The news that's getting the most attention, however, is
California's decision to
pass
anti-spyware legislation that would give out fines for spyware
purveyors. The
text of the actual law is worth
reading, as it's clear that a fair amount of thought went into it.
However, it's not entirely clear it will do much to stop spyware.
First, the sneakiest forms of spyware have been very careful to hide
who is really responsible for the products -- meaning, they're likely
to successfully remain hidden from any lawsuits. The just slightly
more legitimate adware variant of spyware, on the other hand, has
always been more about social engineering than any
technical
trickery. That is, they bury the permissions in a ton of language so
that no one is really sure what they're agreeing to. Assuming this
continues, these firms will be able to claim that they presented the
end user with a choice, and those end users agreed to move ahead with
the installation.

of P2P file sharing software is being prosecuted because they say he
knew 'it would facilitate Internet piracy.' The defendant, Isamu
Kaneko, created the P2P program 'Winny' -- which I've never heard of,
personally. According to the article Winny 'allows users to swap

11/05/2003 12:09 PMGreenpeace, has been charged with crimes by the Federal Government.
Some Greenpeace members boarded a vessel that was carrying an illegal
shipment of mahogany from the Brazilian rain forest to Miami. They
hung a banner that read, "President Bush, Stop Illegal Logging."
Is Ashcroft abusing his authority as attorney general? Would the
current administration retaliate against someone that has publicly
spoken out against them in the past? (No, this isn't a story on
leaking the names of undercover CIA agents who happened to be married
to administration critics.) Read on for details.

Perpetrators of Emerging Worm Attacks
against Computer Users
05/03/2004 05:15 AMA recent increase in malicious activity on the Internet, including the
development of attack tools and exploit code, has resulted in an
automated attack against computer users in the form of a worm
identified as "W32.Sasser.worm" ("Sasser"). Through this worm, the
attacker is attempting to exploit systems that are not protected
against the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS)
vulnerability, which is mitigated by the use of a firewall and fixed
in Microsoft Security Update MS04-011 on April 13, 2004. There is
additional malicious activity in the form of variants of a worm known
as "Agobot" (or "Agrobot"), which similarly seeks to exploit systems
not protected by a firewall or the installation of MS04-011.
