This chapter advances a jurisprudence that discusses the rights, responsibilities and autonomy of digital entities in virtual spaces and assesses elements of jurisprudence, such as corporate personhood, which may be relevant in the absence of physical presence. Through examples of both popular, widely known platforms sites like Second Life and Decentraland as well as recent blows to idealism around digital legal spheres through experimental governance projects like Estonia's e-Residency program, the chapter addresses some current junctures to discuss challenges about issues such as accountability, jurisdiction, and intellectual property. It draws attention to the necessity of creative legal mechanisms and global norms for regulating new digital frontiers, propelling the conversation on how we apply our jurisprudence to digital environments forward. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
