I'm surprised the the rl law enforcement agencies haven't been involved. Obviously they care as much as the rest of the world or perhaps they don't even know
In the great scheme of things, cybercrime units may be more interested in, y'know, trivia like massive use of the Internet for organised crime, terrorism, advertising fake goods like medicine that can kill you... etc.

Or should every national police force (and let's throw in the international guys too, considering cybercime often involves several countries) redeploy their resources or hire new staff to go and co-ordinate with the local guys (often in another country) to knock on the doors of people 'stealing virtual goods'?

Sure it would be nice. But so not going to happen. And it's not for a lack of caring. It's called lack of resources.

But yes, some agencies know about SL. It's just not a priority until bigger bucks are involved. In the UK, for instance, international cases involving a lot of work but with less than a certain amount of money involved are simply not actioned.
