Metaverse and Law

Abstract

Building a metaverse requires the integration of multiple technologies and the integration of new technologies into various industries. This process will inevitably lead to many legal issues that need to be addressed. Identity fraud, intellectual property rights, regulatory review, and data security are some of the problems that will arise in the metaverse’s development and maturity process. To prevent and solve these legal issues, legislation, law enforcement, and justice in digital technology, data, algorithms, transactions, taxation, and property rights need to be promptly followed up. In this chapter, we will discuss the various legal risk issues faced in the metaverse and the shape of the metaverse legal system. How to build a new virtual space different from the real world requires forward-looking research and is an important consideration. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the key legal issues in the metaverse, which continue to evolve as the legal framework develops.
