Revenge

The Japanese case of virtual killing (2008): A 43-year-old player in a virtual-world game became so angry

about her sudden and unexpected divorce from her onlinehusband that she logged on with his password and killed hisdigital persona.

"`I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That mademe so angry,"' the official quoted her as telling investigators.

The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in thereal world.

She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she couldface up to five years in prison or a fine up to $5,000.

Conclusion

Life within cyberspace is a very unique thing.

It really is a life aside from your real world life.

With very few exceptions, there isn't anything you can't

do on-line.You can meet people, make friends, make enemies,listen to music, send cards, join a society, purchasewhatever, get the news or the weather, get medicaladvice, find out what is on TV, if you even watch it

anymore, keep a journal, view artwork and get allthe information on things you didn't even knowexisted.

You can even have a cyber marriage performed and if itdoesn't work...a cyber divorce too.
