Virtual Justice by Greg Lastowka Pdf

Tens of millions of people today are living part of their life in a virtual world. In places like World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Free Realms, people are making friends, building communities, creating art, and making real money. Business is booming on the virtual frontier, as billions of dollars are paid in exchange for pixels on screens. But sometimes things go wrong.

This pioneering study will be an invaluable guide to scholars of online communities for years to come.
