Virtual Worlds Law Library's Public Library

Last year, I wrote about the Evans v. Linden case filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Linden operates the Second Life® virtual world. The case concerned claims that Linden wrongfully deprived the plaintiffs of their virtual real property. I recently checked into the status of the case. In February, the Philadelphia federal court enforced Linden’s forum selection clause and transferred the case to the Northern District of California. Since then, the case has proceeded in San Francisco’s federal court
