I am doing research about how RL is increasingly overlaping with activity on the Internet. I am using Second Life for a couple examples mainly because of the unique way that currency in SL is tied to real life money, but also how interactions in world affect people's real lives as well, and how events in world can have real life consequences that discourage people from acting irrespinsibly in cyberspace.

I am trying to find resources which document things that happen in Second Life that have affected people in RL. The only thing I can find so far is this one about second life attackers being turned into the FBI:

I want to find more resources that talk about the real life consequences of different behaviors in second life, can anybody share some good links with me?
