Interesting. Thanks for posting it. It's amazing what social upshakings can take place due to the march of technology. I don't like the fact that real money is paid for virtual stuff, but let's face it, it's gonna get more common as more and more effort and time is put into creating and accumulating virtual stuff, then people are likely to put more and more real world value on it. In 10 years' time at most, virtual things will probably have equal legal status to real things (with some notable exceptions, that don't translate to virtual worlds).
