Bragg v. Linden Lab
''Bragg v. Linden Research, Inc.'', 487 F. Supp. 2d 593 (E.D.Penn. 2007), was a civil action (No. 06-4925) removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in October 2006. Linden Lab, an online virtual world service provider of ''Second Life'' terminated the account of a user Marc Bragg when it discovered that he had found a way to acquire virtual land at a lower-than-market price. The user brought this suit, which was ultimately settled before a final decision was reached. However, the District Court did decide on two issues which may be important in future virtual world litigation: that the Second Life Terms of Service’s mandatory arbitration provision was unenforceable; and that interaction with a person in a virtual world can satisfy a state’s "minimum contacts" requirement for personal jurisdiction.
==Facts==
In 2006, Pennsylvania lawyer Marc Bragg (“Marc Woebegone” in Second Life) brought a lawsuit against Second Life developer Linden Lab when his account was unilaterally disabled by Second Life administrators... Linden Lab claimed that Marc Bragg had violated their Terms of Service by URL-hacking〔Dennis G. Jerz, ''(URL-Hacking: Do-it-yourself Navigation )'' (May 18, 2000). 〕 the Second Life virtual land auction website in order to gain access to otherwise unavailable auctions. As a result, Bragg was able to purchase virtual land within Second Life valued at $1,000 for approximately $300.〔Tateru Nino, ''(Bragg vs Linden Lab - The Story So Far )'', Second Life Insider (Jan. 27, 2007).〕 Bragg’s account was suspended while Linden Lab conducted an investigation, and later closed completely.〔 Bragg argued that by closing his account, Linden Lab also dissolved his virtual assets, which he valued at between US$4,000 and US$6,000.〔
