For all you know, the latter has already happened.

Err... in *my* world many resources are getting scarce, and indeed I
thought that all this discussion was about that. :)
Besides, virtual worlds will have their own resource problems in the
real world - caused by increasing memory and processing demands.
(Actually the crude virtual worlds of today, like Second Life, are
already limited by that problem.) However, virtual worlds populated by
uploads would be, granted, more efficient, in the sense that a human
upload would need far less matter and energy than an actual human.
