This special session of Metanomics was held to address a radical shift in policy. Linden Lab has regulated SL banks, effectively shutting them down until they change the way they do business. Guests included key figures related to this issue:

• David Talbot, a professional journalist for 20 years, is chief correspondent at Technology Review magazine.
• Ben Duranske/Ben Noble, a lawyer who has decided to focus specifically on virtual worlds.
• Travis Ristow / Steve Smith, who represents the BCX Bank.
• Intlibber Brautigan/Michael Lorrey, CEO of Ancapistan Capital Exchange (ACE)
• Jillian Falconi/Jillian Barth, Saxo Bank

Due to technical difficulties during this session many did not get the opportunity to hear the event unfold live. The video, with audio intact, has been made available here a little sooner than usual. A full event recap will follow in the next few days.

In the meantime we'd like invite you to participate in a follow up event. Monday, January 14, at 11 am PST, (location will be announced) we will re-assemble our panel and almost exclusively focus on questions from the audience. Please watch for group notices as well as this blog.
