Ebay and Yahoo have banned the sale of virtual characters based on the
fact that doing so violates the intellectual property rights of, say,
Verant.
While I certainly applaud this enforcement of Verant's rights, I wonder
how long it will be until someone sets up an auction service specifically
to cater to the buying and selling of virtual items and hosts it somewhere
handily out of the reach of the US government.
