Kate Thompson writes "Alice Taylor at Wonderland writes that BBC Radio 1 is coming to Second Life, with a virtual festival and simulcast this weekend to coincide with Radio 1's One Big Weekend event. Second Life users can catch live performances in-game by acts including Muse, Razorlight and Gnarls Barkley. Pitchforkmedia.com also reported on the rise of live music in Second Life a couple of weeks ago, focusing on the launch of Muse Isle and the swarms of coffeehouse performers playing covers every night in-game."

Hmmm
(Score:3, Interesting)Interesting, this probably means the BBC are simulcasting Radio 1 in MP3 instead of "we know the casual user can't rip this" Real or WMA streams. Tut tut.
Just another market for commercials

Second Life may very well actualize many of the issues brought up by crappy "we're all actually living inside a computer" science fiction stories. The turning point will be when some judge hands down a broad ruling giving in-game money the same status as out-game money.
At least one sense will be gratified...
