The “metaverse” has become a hot topic over
the past couple of years, with commercial activity ranging from “sales of
virtual” real-estate, to virtual fashion items, and attracting significant
attention when Facebook boldly renamed itself “Meta.” The term “metaverse” is
loosely defined but generally refers to virtual or augmented reality and
digital spaces, including videogames and other activities in “cyberspace.” The
question is whether the metaverse requires quite so much attention from a legal
perspective. Is this old wine in new bottles? Are there truly new legal issues?
Or do we just need to get back to life and reality.
