窃取网络虚拟财产行为的刑法规制

Criminal Law for Stealing Online Virtual Property

摘要: 司法实践中窃取网络虚拟财产的案件存在同案不同判的情况，学界对于窃取网络虚拟财产的行为定性主要有非犯罪说、侵犯通信自由说、相关计算机犯罪说、和盗窃说这四种观点，本文认为网络虚拟财产的权利属性是物权，属于盗窃罪中“公私财物”的范畴，基于观念化的事实性占有概念，窃取网络虚拟财产的行为符合盗窃罪的构成要件，应当认定为盗窃罪。在犯罪数额认定方面，可以根据网络虚拟财产的获取方式不同，综合网络虚拟财产的类型，受害主体和虚拟财产的具体市场交易价格等，采用不同的计算方式。

In determining the amount of the crime, different calculation methods may be used based on the different methods of obtaining the online virtual property, the type of the online virtual property, the specific market transaction price of the victim and the virtual property, and so forth.
