I read that yesterday, too. It's scary isn't it? But with all this
ebay trading of online characters, virtual equipment are getting
close to having a real money value. So in one way the Red Moon
company made this poor guy lose money. They can probably hide behind
an EULA though ;)

Got me thinking ;) It was on this list there was some debate about
taxation of online values, wasn't it?
