One of the papers I wrote back in school discusses the security issues
and considerations that should be kept in mind when playing online
games, as I was (and still am) fascinated about the millions of people
playing a game together without actually knowing eachother. I looked at
the subject from a security point-of-view; namely how secure the
software is and what the possibilities of attack and abuse are. Now,
Susan Brenner announced
the publication of her article 'Fantasy Crime' in he Vanderbilt Journal
of Entertainment and Technology Law’s Fall 2008 issue (Vol. 11 No. 1).
The article will "analyse activities in virtual worlds that would
constitute crime if they were committed in the real world." Having read
the draft (available here),
I think it very nicely complements with the paper I wrote, as Ms.
Brenner's article looks at things from a judicial point of view.
