OMG Lawsuits!

From today's discussion: Bragg v. Linden Labs is the current newsworthiest, although this suit about the theft of in-world sex toys is recent as well. Wired's rundown of the Bragg suit is interesting, particularly Fairfield's comments at the end. Anybody agree that land in SL is equal to bandwidth sold by AT&T, or is virtual property more "real" than that?

Doesn't virtual property fall into the realms of IP? I mean if it's original, it should belong to the artist, I guess.
