This does, of course, raise the perennial Internet jurisdictional
question: If a player in New York threatens a player in Oregon inside
of a game whose servers are in California, where exactly did the
threat occur?  What if all of them are in California?  What if the
player being threatened is, but the one making the threat is in Mexico
or vice versa (just over the border in Baja, close enough it is
physically possible to carry out the threat)?
