网络虚拟财产民法问题探析

A Discussion of Civil Law Issues Concerning on the Virtual Property on the Internet

网络虚拟财产权是一种准物权。网络虚拟财产的权利人应为玩家。在当前缺乏相关法律规制网络虚拟财产转让的情况下,网络虚拟财产转让可以准用我国《物权法》有关物权变动和公示的规定。如果玩家违反服务合同约定,游戏服务商有权停止玩家游戏账号的使用。游戏服务商在停止玩家账号使用前应当预先通知玩家。游戏服务商负有保障玩家网络虚拟财产安全的义务。在第三人窃取玩家网络虚拟财产且玩家无法确定侵害第三人的情形,游戏服务商是有过错的,应当承担相应的责任。

The virtual property on the internet is a kind of quasi-property. The right holder of virtual property is the player. Under the circumstance of lacking of relating legal regulation, the trade of virtual property should apply to the Property Law. If the player violates the contract, the game corporation has right to suspend the player＇s account. The game corporation should inform the player of suspending his account before it does this. The game corporation has the duty of protecting players＇ virtual property from being infringed. If other unknown people steal players＇ virtual property and the game corporation has fault,the game corporation should burden relating responsibility.
