侵犯虚拟财产的刑法规制研究

Research on the Criminal Regulation of Fictitious Property Tort

随着网络游戏的风靡,在赛搏空间(Cyberspace)中侵犯"虚拟财产"的违法犯罪现象也日益增多。为了对侵犯虚拟财产的行为给予有效的刑法规制,可以借鉴域外经验,从立法、司法途径寻求规制措施。从立法方面来看,首先要在中国现行法律框架下寻求有效规制;当现行法律对于相关行为存在立法漏洞时,则应当通过完善立法、严密法网而将之纳入调整范畴。而从司法角度来说,则需要在不违背现行立法、遵循罪刑法定原则的前提下,通过最高司法机关对具体应用法律问题进行解释,从而对侵犯虚拟财产的行为给以刑法规制。

With Internet games becoming fashionable for a time, there will be more and more illegal acts infringing on the fictitious property in Cyberspace. In order to provide an effective criminal regulation on the fictitious property infringement, we consider that some foreign experience can be borrowed and regulative measures can be found from the legislative and judicial channels. Form the legislative aspect, the effective regulations should be explored within the Chinese current legal structure. When legislative loopholes exist in the current laws, the legislature should be perfected and the relative acts should be brought into the regulating category. From the judicial aspects, the fictitious property infringement should be regulated though the concrete applicable legal explanations by the super judicial organs on the condition of not violating the current legislature and the principle of legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime.
