April 20 we participated in the Second Life Conference at Deloitte. The main focus of the seminar was, not surprisingly, about virtual economies and taxation in virtual worlds. The output was very interesting and we got many pointers for the thesis. In addition, we met some of our contacts from Second Life in “real” life. The man point of the conference in connection to taxation in virtual worlds was “when the economy becomes important enough realty and regulation will come”.
The case presented by SAXO Bank was a brilliant example of a company with has well defined objectives about their presence in Second Life.
