Linden lets users retain the rights to digital imagery they create on-site, and the result is a thriving economy that's as real as it gets. Attorney Stevan Lieberman made $20,000 last year helping Second Lifers file patents, trademarks and copyrights. And $6.8 million changed hands in June on the site's Lindex, where the exchange rate is about 270 Linden dollars to one U.S. dollar. Congress is looking into whether this commerce should be taxed...
