I split this off from your other thread since they were totally unrelated.

as far as what you linked?  Yeah, we have been watching this for several months now.  Not sure exactly how they would monitor or enforce this.  I think that as long as the money stays within the game there shouldn't be and ability to tax the currency exchanges after all, this money is passed all over the world, and doesn't really have a value in the real world unless you violate the terms of service in WoW.

there are other MMOs out there that do allow you to move currency in and out of the game, and they may be at risk.
