http://www.themis-group.com/uploads/Pitfalls%20of%20Virtual%20Property.pdf

This paper describes various pitfalls associated with the notion of real-world ownership of virtual property, taken from the perspective of a developer of virtual worlds. It makes no commentary on the positives of virtual property: rather, it assumes that the reader already regards the concept favorably or as inevitable, and is performing due diligence to discover the extent of any downside to it. Five pitfalls are summarized in total, of which one is philosophical, two are law-related and two are concerned with gameplay.
