Man Demands $8000 for E-Property Deal in Second Life Gone Sour
May 20, 2006
A man known in Second Life as Marc Woebegone is suing Linden Lab for shutting down his account and costing him money after a land deal “went sour”. Marc, whose offline name is Marc Bragg and who is a lawyer in real life, used what Wired News calls a hacker-like method to buy Second Life land below market prices in Second Life auctions.
Bragg copied the URL for a legitimate auction, then swapped in the ID number for land not yet up for sale publicly, so there would be no minimum bid and few, if any, competing bidders.
