Podcast on Virtual World Justice System
July 16th, 2007 by Benjamin Duranske
It’s a banner day for podcasts. Here’s a link to an informative interview with one of the people behind the Metaverse Republic, ‘Mondrian Lykin,’ on the blog Metaversed. The Metaverse Republic is a project that is attempting to create a grid-wide opt-in justice system in Second Life. The podcast provides a great overview of the project, the interviewer hits the important questions (including the million-dollar question, “Isn’t this basically extortion?”), and ‘Mondrian Lykin’ handles the inquiries very well. Worth your twenty minutes, in my opinion.

“Isn’t this basically extortion?”
Yes.
