- Title
CONTRACTUAL COMMUNITIES: EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE OF VIRTUAL WORLDS.
- Authors
Zwart, Melissa De
- Abstract
The article focuses on the effectiveness of end-user licence agreements (EULA) as a medium of governance among online communities. It examines consent as a predictable guide to the community standards and argues that the major problem with EULAs is that they were developed as software licence. It suggests that as contracts attempt to deal with various aspects of community life, they only have limited value to accommodate the expansion of virtual worlds such as Second Life.
