Just how real is the Net?

[Tyr]

@Orion: 'Rules' in the Net depend on the particular virtual hub (think 'web site'). The rules for a teenager's virtual hub could differ from the rules of the official St. Petersburg virtual hub.

Would these website's terms be based on hardware, programming, software or a mixture? Would a teenager be able to mirror life on his freehubbspages hub or only people with serious manpower/financing? Would a glitch in the coding be a danger to the visitor without stimjacking?
