网络虚拟财产的法律性质及其保护

Legal Character of the Virtual Property on the Cyberspace and Its Protection

21世纪是一个以计算机网络为核心的信息时代,其特征是数字化、网络化、信息化。当前广为流行的网络游戏在为企业带来商机和经济效益的同时,也暴露出涉及虚拟财产的大量法律问题。在这一问题上,我国尚未建立有效的应对法制和政策,似应在借鉴国外及港台地区的经验的同时,结合我国国情制定相关法规和措施,切实维护民众的网络权益。

The legal character of the virtual property in the net games has not received due attention from the legislation, judicature and academic researchers. With increasing cases concerned with virtual property and violation of virtual property rights, it is urgent to draft legal measures for the protection of virtual property rights.
