Well, tax offices around the world are indeed starting to look at Second Life and ruling on the taxability of profits users make there, precisely because converting Linden dollars into real world money or goods is a supported part of the game. At the moment it isn't a large enough business to really make it worth the revenue collectors' time to pursue players, but eventually it will be, and once the rules and mechanisms for taxing them are in place it's likely they'll be more widely applied. It's one of those situations where bureacuracy is just starting to catch up with technology. love Anna _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
