There are some interesting ethical issues here, but I don't think that Floridi gets into them. This is to do with the fact that many online games have a controlled economy and that economy can be dictated by the manufacturers - the game manufacturers can change how the economy runs. Does this mean that players should exploit it without any moral mercy, or should they act in the same way as they do in the real world?" created="Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:15:36 GMT"/><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/politicsphilosophyandsociety/story/0,,2230971,00.html&quot;&gt;The Guardian&lt;/a&gt; has a piece up about the McGinn-Honderich review dispute (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://tommorris.org/blog/2007/12/15#When:00:53:27&quot;&gt;2007.12.15&lt;/a&gt;; via &lt;a href=&quot;http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2007/12/honderichmcgi-1.html&quot;&gt;Brian Leiter&lt;/a&gt;)." created="Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:00:44 GMT"/>
