>lead to questions about the copyright
It will lead to questions - but those questions will be answered by the platform owners not the courts. The platform owners will just remove your models even in cases where a court would rule it fair use.
VR of real places is going to be huge - bigger than for imaginary places. My guess is that most VR worlds will be a combination.
Here's a question. What if you model the real world and an architect of a building. I know that copyright doesn't apply to buildings or other functional works. But again, this will be decided by the platform owners and not the courts.
Clearly there are good reasons to not have "platform owners" in the metaverse.
