Virtual Pottery (Breaking for current research, part II) The on-line game Second Life now allows for items created within the game to be the intellectual property of the player. This allows for a more fuller representation of a virtual item.  It also helps blur the lines of what is a "real" and "not real' item. From a quick look at Second Life, it seems that one could create items such as pottery: Let your ideas take shape through simple but sophisticated 3D creation tools. Build a lavish mansion or a secret underground hideaway. Design furniture. Create outlandish costumes. Invent intricate weapons or fantastical animals. Bring your creations to life by adding special effects. All it takes is imagination. Second Life Features 8:41:09 PM
