The basic approach to the law in metaverse

“conflict of laws” between the universe and metaverse

Abstract

The law of metaverse has just started to be discussed and many issues are yet to be clear. The situation appear to be similar to the law of the Internet in its infancy. However, as metaverse is a self-contained world on the platform, norms can be established through the terms and conditions, as well as technical architecture, both set up by the platform operator. Therefore, the required law is the "conflict of law" rules to respond to conflicts between the actions and events in the metaverse and those in the universe. The basic principle shall be the "preponderance of the universe", which means that the basic policies in the universe shall not be disturbed by the activities and events in the metaverse.
