Maker Of Virtual Sex Toys Takes Online Dispute To Federal Court — happening in Second Life, of course. And over sex toys, of course. Porn is always on the bleeding edge of technology…
This is a good example of exactly what Linden wanted to happen — redirecting disputes like this away from customer service and to the real-world dispute resolution process.
At issue is actually a trademark dispute, apparently; Stroker Serpentine, the person suing, makes around $40,000 a year selling “Sex Gen” beds that permit sexual positions between avatars, and he accuses the other party of copying it and selling the copy for a profit.

I wonder what the judge said when he looked over that case…
Perhaps: “Can I buy a real one of these things?”
I’ve asked lots of questions about the motivation, the particulars, and the real aim of this lawsuit here.
