Is Craigslist the Last Real Place on the Internet? Millennials are still using Craigslist to find jobs, find love, and even to cast creative projects--eschewing other AIand algorithm-dominated online spaces. The writer and comedian Megan Koester got her first writing job, reviewing internet pornography, from a Craigslist ad she responded to more than 15 years ago. Several years after that, she used the listings website to find the rent-controlled apartment where she still lives today. When she wanted to buy property, she scrolled through Craigslist and found a parcel of land in the Mojave Desert.

But litigation against game companies using real buildings and places as inspiration is not unprecedented. In 2008, Rockstar Games was sued by ESS Entertainment for its depiction of a gentleman's club in "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." ESS, the operator of the real Los Angeles establishment Play Pen Gentlemen's Club, alleged that Rockstar infringed upon its trademark with its virtual club, Pig Pen. The court ruled in favor of Rockstar.
