虚拟财产权性质论

On the Nature of Virtual Property

虚拟财产权是指一定主体对存在于网络环境下、经一定的程序指令生成的、模拟现实事物的数字信息所享有的权利。在财产权"二元体系"内界定虚拟财产权的性质有其科学性、合理性。基于技术规则对虚拟财产权作出债权性判断难以突破现实法律困境。"支配权"或权利的"支配性"的现代意义提供了一种研究虚拟财产权性质的理论进路。虚拟财产权具备权利的支配性特征,因此,虚拟财产权是物权,应适用物权规则。

The virtual property right is one of the rights owned by certain subject over the digital information in the network which is formed through certain program instructions and simulates the real things. To confine the nature of the virtual property right in the ＂binary system＂ is scientific and reasonable. It is difficult for the judgment that the virtual property is jus in persona based on the technical rules to break through the real legal dilemma. The modern meanings of ＂the right of domination＂ and the ＂dominant nature＂ of the right give the theoretical ways to research the nature of the virtual property right. The virtual property right has the dominant nature of the right. So it is jus in re and should apply the rules of jus in re.
