摘要
利用计算机技术手段窃取他人虚拟财产行为如何定罪处罚,是按照盗窃罪等侵财类犯罪定罪处罚,还是按照破坏计算机信息系统罪,抑或是按照非法获取计算机信息系统数据罪等计算机类犯罪定罪处罚,在刑法理论上与司法实践中存在很大争议。从法学理论的角度看,界定窃取虚拟财产行为性质的关键在于区分虚拟财产的法律属性,如果虚拟财产不属于刑法意义上保护的财产,则不能构成盗窃罪,可能构成计算机类犯罪。如果虚拟财产属于刑法保护的财产,可能同时构成盗窃罪与计算机类犯罪的,应按照《刑法》第二百八十七条关于利用计算机实施有关犯罪的规定处罚,同时,是否影响计算机系统的正常运行是认定破坏计算机信息系统罪的应有之义,对利用计算机窃取虚拟财产的定罪处罚还要符合罪责刑相适应原则。
How to convict the crime of applying computers to steal virtual property, whether to define it as theft or property-related crime or define it as crime of damaging computer systems or define it as cybercrime such as illegally stealing computer system data, is controversial in theory and judicial practice. In our opinion, the key to define the behavior of stealing virtual property is to distinguish legal attributes of the virtual property. If the virtual property does not belong to the category of the property protected by Criminal Law, it can not be defined as theft but cybercrime. Meanwhile, whether damage is done to the normal operation of the computer system is really the key. How to convict the behavior of using computers to steal virtual property should abide with the principle of adaptation to criminal responsibility and punishment.
