Abstract
I report on a study into enhancing communication privacy in virtual worlds. That study used steganography as guiding idea. Its approach could easily be adapted to work for further virtual worlds. Liability and cost issues, however, might make the related providers oppose to inhabitants of their world practice it. I try to conceptualize the underlying problem in terms of systems development. Then I raise the question if these aspects of computerized systems need to be considered more careful and to be addressed by software processes.
