That other Cory, Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing, Down and Out, and the “Microsoft DRM talk” fame, has written “Anda’s Game”, a short story on Salon about MMOs, IP rights, and the power of the people. While intended to be a science fiction story, it seemed to match what Constance Steinkuehler talked about at State of Play 2, where armed mobs in Lineage 2 attempt to bring vigilante justice down on the commercial farmers.

It's also a good, quick read and IMHO gets a lot of it right (except for the actual feel of combat in RPGs.) It's CC licensed, a first for Salon, although, you have to click through Salon's annoying "read this advert to read our content" but if that 10 seconds keeps Salon alive, so be it.
