I have not really ever bothered to make use of Second Life (the crowd gasps in horror). I think that it is a pseudo life involved in a real life that is the possible pseudo life of another life's imagined real worlds sisters second cousins aunt. Wow, talk about existential hey! This is some serious Meta discussion going on.No, it isn't. It is actually fairly obvious and simple in my mind. People want to play god, they want to reinvent themselves, they want to live like movie stars they watch in the cinema. In order to do all of this, we [humans] create a second life for ourselves in which we can do all of the aforementioned things.What we didn't plan for unfortunately is that the authorities would also mimic the real world! I mean seriously, lets just think about this for a second. We make a world where humans can reign free, religion might not matter, money isn't that important (yet) and sex is cyber. Alas, that is not all true, money does matter apparently and the FBI are interested to know how exactly the online gambling within Second Life works. I think that this is all very ironic. We create what we think is a world that is untouchable and then realise that we are screwing it up by doing the bad things that exist in the real world. Human nature is just unavoidable.
