Virtual Sex Toy Sale a No No

I don’t know, but sometimes you really have to laugh.

A 19 year old settled out of court for selling ‘virtual Sex Toys‘ to other members, I guess, of an online virtual community, known as Second Life. Now it may seem petty, but then again, I don’t know. I mean people are making money from stealing videos and photographs, then putting them up in tube sites, galleries, making money doing it. Why should they get a free ride?

It effectively ends the suit filed last year by Eros’ owner, Kevin Alderman, of Lutz. He sued to stop the unauthorized distribution of Eros creations, which allow “Second Life” users to equip their online personas, known as avatars, with realistic genitalia. Products also allow users to engage in various sexual actions in the online world. (source)

Fantasy is big business. Hell the entire online porn industry is nothing but fantasy, and the amount of scams is just unreal. So I rather feel happy that this kid got nailed. I wish others would get nailed too, because they do have an effect. It does cost you and me money, so yeah, this is good.

Now if only it can be applied to all those tube sites.
