Via. Here's a very interesting cyberactivist/art installation: Virtual Gitmo on Second Life, including a strange interaction with a second life reenactment of Gandhi's Salt March to Dandi. Amazing.

First-year law students have been exploring virtual property law in Second Life this semester. I love this. The class has some posts about their project on Terra Nova as well as their own blog.
My summer reading plans include Julian Dibbell's Play Money, so I'm going to enjoy looking back over these law student views on this brave new world of virtual property.
