Theft in virtual worlds

The Guardian has an article (here) regarding the threat of theft / fraud in virtual worlds, a very real threat it must be said but the writer fails to even mention intellectual property rights.

On the subject of which it has been mentioned to me that I should investigate the possibility of getting my LLM dissertation published, does anyone know of a suitable publisher? The title of my work is: “Ownership of Intellectual Property in the Virtual World its real world effects and justification: focusing on UK / EC Trade Mark Law”.
