"Asking whether 'real' law applied to virtual worlds (or crypto) is too simple a question, since it suggests that real law is a monolithic entity. Real law is actually a complicated array of different, and sometimes conflicting, authorities and rules." -- [cont.] --

"There are many different real laws that might be applied to virtual worlds (and blockchain/crypto forms, worlds, & processes) and many organizations that might be interested in making real laws for them." -- [cont.] --

I thought we had already established the definition of "alegality" as something that "does not experience the law" @anujdasgupta , which doesn't mean that the law doesn't experience it ;)

I really have to push back against this alegal stuff, and the law-as-rules stuff, too

nothing that is subject to dispute is alegal because law is about disputes (rules and enforcement are incidental)

alegal basically means "not subject to dispute" You cannot legitimately decide or declare that something is alegal if it's subject to dispute @gavofyork @NickSzabo4 @aantonop @yaoeo please consider this
