Because i read about a person who made money from Second Life and i wanted to know whether it was legal or not.



Can anyone help?

Does it matter if what she did was illegal or not? What does this have to do with you? Most people are hesitant to click on links in postings such as yours because they resemble spam.

:Perhaps it would be advisable for you to paraphrase the contents of the links for posters who don't wish to click on external links.

Sorry about that. Because i play on SL as a wolf Furry and i wanted to know whether what the person did was legal or not. Because i mostly hang out at nightclubs in the platform. And i'm not a spammer,i belong to a well known anti-troll group in it that reports trolls.

Let me get this right. You can figure out html enough to embed an image in a forum such as this, but you cannot articulate a question? I got the gist of what the Second Life is even without the capable help of Wikipedia----but your question escapes me yet.

To what person do you refer and what did they do specifically, the legality of which you are calling into question?

In the meanwhile, peruse the link YOU PROVIDED and scroll down to "ECONOMY" where you will read the following which may answer your partially formed query: only a relatively small number of users earn large amounts of money from the world. According to figures published by Linden Lab, about 64,000 users made a profit in Second Life in February 2009, of whom 38524 made less than US$10, while 233 made more than US$5000 [20]. Profits are derived from selling virtual goods, renting land, and a broad range of services. In March 2009, it has become known that there exist a few Second Life entrepreneurs, whose profits exceed 1 million US$ per year[21].
Some companies generate US dollar earnings from services provided in Second Life. Examples are Languagelife.com,[22] Rivers Run Red[23], BNT Holdings, and Beta Technologies.[24] This opportunity is extending to normal residents and non-Second Life users via affiliate programs.[25] The total value of these transactions has not been calculated but in 2008 consultancy firms Rivers Run Red and Electric Sheep have reported annual revenues of $6 million.

"freaking out"? Seriously, you need to get a REAL life.

Read your own links ----the answer to your psuedo legal question is in the information YOU posted. I am going to hazard a guess that since she is announcing this on national TV while holding a vulgar depiction of a body part, that it is not illegal.
In November 2006 Chung announced that she had "become the first online personality to achieve a net worth exceeding one million US dollars from profits entirely earned inside a virtual world"[15]
Ask a legitimate legal question or stop with this nonsense.
