I like Joe, but suspect the latter.

That comment goes more to the lawyer side of VB's readership than the developer side, and is just to point out that like the 2D web (PayPal, etc.) 3D environments are likely to eventually parcel out tasks like this (and attendant liability) rather than keeping them entirely within a private world provider's portfolio.

The post highlights something I think of as a likely future trend with virtual law implications: currency systems on the 3D internet coming from third party providers.

This statement puzzles me. What does 3d have to do with virtual currency systems specifically? They function precisely the same whether it’s 3d, 2d, text-only, etc.
