Good point, and by the time the legislation went through... Yeah, not seeing much hope on the legal front.

I am actually writing a fanfic based on this, as I have said on other threads. Anyway, I've written about the first responses, including a massive, global news broadcast of the dangers of Sword Art Online, and the confiscation of any unsold Sword Art Online copies and Nerve Gear consoles by authorities.
As for Akihiko, I have included a news report in the first chapter that mentions the Japanese National Police Agency and Interpol setting up task forces dedicated to locating and capturing Akihiko, as well as a phone and e-mail tipline. As for figuring out how to disarm a Nerve Gear, in my fic, the task force working on confiscated, disconnected Nerve Gears. The task force includes both computer expert, and perhaps a person serving a prison sentence for hacking who has been offered parole in exchange for their help, in order to find a software-based method of disarming, and explosive ordnance disposal experts attempting to safely physically disable the device. Spoiler for Spoilers for my fanfic:

However, there's a category called "unintentional murder" where recklessness is enough for murder, when the culprit "manifests extreme indifference to the value of human life". So yeah, he's guilty of murder for all of them. Or would be, in the USA. No idea about Japanese law. Last edited by Clarste; 2012-08-10 at 07:52. |

As for the public wanting him dead, in my fic, I was planning to include a character related to this: an average university student turned vigilante who happens to be Sachi's older brother and possibly also an illegal arms dealer, who notes a bunch of people who do not look like yakuza buying guns- all of them intending to hunt down and kill Akihiko. |

Depends on the reasonableness of his belief that killing her avatar would kill her in real life. You can't get charged with attempted murder for using voodoo dolls and praying for someone to die, for example. Given the witness testimony though, it seems pretty reasonable.

However, I also said that there are enough witnesses who would claim that it was a very reasonable belief for everyone trapped in the game. So it's not a very strong defense. |

It's easy enough to make up news reports. Especially when they're floating 50 meters up in the sky and you can't look at them closely.
Anyway, I already said that a court would probably find the belief to be "reasonable" but it's not nearly as clear-cut as you're making it sound. It's not like he shot her with a gun or stabbed her with a knife. Causality is very important. |

Well when they are stuck inside the game for 2 years and yet the police didnt try to pull the cord. Then they know Kabaya is dead serious. Let face it, if people didnt die then what stop the police from shutting down the serve?
Also i believe that gov can easy set up servers to read every data sent to SAO servers. This shouldnt be hard since they have physical access to the servers and infrastructure. Btw, if i lock people inside a safari, give them some toy gun that shoot plastic bullet then tell them the only way out is to kill the big boss lion in this safari by those gun and if you shoot other people they will die too. So will people be charged for murder with their defence "i dont know those plastic bullet can kill people"? |
