Calling All Citizens of the World! (And Virtual Worlds!)
Welcome to the Weblog for students enrolled in LSTU-118, Cyberlaw: Law in the Court of Public Opinion at Harvard University!
My name is Ryan Slattery, and together with my classmates, am working on a project to educate the public, both real and virtual, about how the lines of property rights can differ greatly within a virtual world from what we have grown accustomed to under Constitutional protections in the real world.
This is an ever-evolving discussion, and we welcome your comments!

Hi Ryan and classmates,
It was really interesting to read your piece on cyber seizure. I am considering starting a business in Second Life myself so the information you provided was very useful.
It would be helpful if you could keep me posted on any other research you post with reference to Second Life.
All the best

I have been a victim of cyber seizure, i held a second life account. for over 2 years, and i came to log onto the game on monday 31st April 2007, to find out my account has been disabled… thinking a lot of hacking has taken place on sl… maybe they have disabled my account as a precaution.
I called the UK Helpline only to be told that i need to email abuse-manager@lindenlabs.com… guess what… no reply has been heard since… i even emailed them again … but nothing.
I spoke to a friend of mine after creating an alternative account on sl… only to be horrified to find out … that my account has been banned due to serial griefing…
As i was informed 2 mentors filed a abuse report for firing weapons… which is a load of nonsense.
I take part in roleplays in GOR and that area is combat enabled … that would be the only place on sl where i would fire weapons
I do know the terms of service. but this is an abuse towards me..
1. for recieving no warnings prior.. had i been done for griefing
2. lack of customer support from the Lindens
3. Am i suppose to shut up… and put up with this abuse
HELP ME… as the lindens wont
