However, if pressed, it really comes down to whether a Court will believe that there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in SL. Ultimately, it is unlikely that any Court would believe that there is. But for now, I'd hold off taping someone without their knowledge.

This is true, but the things you're wondering onto are PC based - email, browsing etc. Personally I love the idea of the immersion becoming deeper - let SL be the operating system. Everything you want to do on your PC should have an in-world equivalent. Well at the very least the most common things. Email readers, web-browsers, rss-aggregators. If Linden Labs would just sort out html rendering on a surface, all of this stuff will be possible. Of course if they made the scripting language a little more flexible it would not just be possible but relatively easy. That's when I think SL would take a massive step forward. It would become a platform in it's own right. Imagine for example, taking rezzing your web-browser 'panel' and stretching it to a couple of meters square and showing some other people a new website you've found. Or having an inbox on your own table that's hooked up to your email, taking the messages out and them unfolding inworld into emails you can read (ok there's privacy issues). Or how about rezzing your podcast recorder device and recording a podcast inworld, then getting the device to upload it automatically to the web. I just love the vision of SL as a platform and am so frustrated that I can't make it happen just because there's no way to programatically write to a surface !!! When Linden finally get round to it, SL will become a platform for software deployment, just like the PC was and the web is now. Anyway - going to have to try the voice soon too - In-world I'm an English Gentleman - in RL I'm not that far off ;) You aluded to how typing/reading holds your attention in-world but voice allows your eyes and fingers to wonder.
