Beware the knock-off virtual sex toys

Posted by David Meyer

Oh for heaven's sake. If the whole Second Life thing wasn't absurd enough already, now there's a case going on in a real-life court over the intellectual [sic] property issues of virtual sex toys.

Apparently people are having problems telling the difference between the real Eros SexGen Platinum Base Unit and the fake one. OK, let me sit you down here, you squabbling peddlers of objects that don't actually exist: it's sad enough that you're making a living off the so-called sex life of people who'd rather, er, "engage" with virtual partners than real ones, but clogging up the real world's already-overburdened legal system with nonsense cases like this just ain't cool. Alright?

Jeez....
