virtual robbery?

Don't be so modest! 100k$. Pah! Add some zeros!

By jurisdiction issues, I meant more along the lines of:

Someone in Great Britian logs in to the magical land of Xandu, and has his character beat up and rob the character of another player (who is based in Sweden), on a server based in Japan. Where do you hold the trial? Which country's laws apply? The Japanese case is a bit more straightforward - someone in Japan is accused, the game is hosted in Japan, the game maker is based in Japan, and the "victim" is also operating out of Japan; it's reasonable to have the courts of Japan settle it - but the Xandu situation above?

[Atrocities]

I can see it now, lawsuits filed against players for backing out of treaties with other players. LOL

As to Jacks question, you hold the court in the land of Xandu of course. The judge should be from Sweden, the lawyers from Japan.
