Tax in Second life

Just had a quick chat with Zac informing me about Tax Laws being applied to Second Life. Now I am not a regular user, but I was appalled by the thought of tax laws being applied to a virtual world, supplying Second Life with even more revenue as users invest into Linden Dollars. I found the video above from sky news, unsurprisingly the video portrayed is a recording of the interview done in the virtual second life world:

DESCRIPTION

"On Monday, 15 October, Tax Anderton made his first appearance at the Sky News Second Life island to talk about future tax liabilities in online virtual worlds like Second Life. Tax Anderton is a chartered tax advisor and member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, UK's leading body in providing tax advice. The event was very well attended and many questions were asked. Here on Skycast you can watch a 5 minute version of the hour long event. If you find it interesting and want to hear more answers, then come to the Sky News island in Second Life - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sky% 20News . In our viewing room you can watch a 30 minute video of Tax Anderton's responses. Tax Anderton has promised to discuss some of the questions asked by Second Life residents with his colleagues and will be returning to Sky News island with even more information and ready to answer more of your questions. Join the Sky News friends group inside Second Life to keep up with the latest developments."

This relates to my dissertation studies into corporations and profit seeking capitalist organisations, adding tax in second life will of course result in more revenue for Second life and the Linden Lab.
