The novelty of “new realities”, such Virtual Worlds, presents a challenge to the law. Many transactions are made every day on Virtual Worlds, but no taxation is applied to them. Chapter 7 argues, firstly, that the object of such transactions is subject to the right of property and secondly that the electronic currency used to buy such property is electronic money. For both conclusions, one important issue considered will be the legal strength of the EULA. The issues of property and electronic money form the basis of this approach to VW taxation. It is argued that virtual transactions should be taxed, and that is possible to create a legal solution that does not endanger the principal of taxing only profit, and does not tax mere entertainment. Tax law must be applied to these transactions. The author considers these two issues, which allow us to view VW as an electronic commerce marketplace.

This chapter and the next five chapters deal with cases where what looks like a contract turns out to be in someway defective. The ‘unenforceable contract’ resulted from procedural rather than substantive law. The origin of this position can be found in the passage, as long ago as 1677, of the Statute of Frauds. This chapter, which examines the history of this statute and its surviving effects in the modern law, discusses the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989; other rules about form; and the law on writing, signature, and electronic commerce.

One of the agricultural problems in Indonesia is the crops supply chain that hampers the ability of the farmers to achieve better income from their farming activities. Although the government has issued the Law of the Farmer No 19 the year 2013 to protect and empower the farmer, the problem is still prevalent. It leads to a question of how to implement the law to tackle the problem of the crops supply chain. The study explains that the government has issued an Economy Digital Policy to create electronic commerce in agribusiness (E-Agribusiness) for farmers and to solve their agribusiness problem. However, the use of electronic agribusiness is not yet ample to solve the problem of the crops supply chain. The solution is a suggestion to apply Internet of Things which is using RFID technology to solve the problem of crops supply chain and distribution in E- Agribusiness. The methodology of the study is the normative approach and literature review.
