swestrupMy last article I posted to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
technaut had a major subtext about making money from virtual worlds. This is becoming an ever bigger issue. Now I just read this article about someone who was actually arrested in Japan for having created a robot player that mugged other players so his owner could sell the virtual goods for real cash. I'm sure that nowhere else in the world have the cops caught on to the idea of virtual crimes.
