Second Life property law will soon include zoning

The virtual world known as "Second Life" has long had property transactions and private covenants between "land" owners. Soon, Second Life will institute zoning, enforced by Linden Labs, the owners of the Second Life system.

Second Life terms of use allow a large degree of freedom for the users -- even going so far as to allow each user to retain all IP rights in anything they create in-world. However, the explosion of nuisance-like advertising led to numerous complaints and he forthcoming zoning regulations.
