The virtual property is a kind of property interest, which belongs to the category of valuable articles in criminal law. However, the offense against the virtual property cannot be necessarily convicted as the crime against property according to the positive Chinese Penal Code. The conception of valuable article in criminal law is not the only relevant element to decide, whether the offense against virtual property should be punished. The most important is the way of act, which cause the property damage of the victim. In light of the positive Chinese Penal Code transforming the virtual property into another account represent the most usual pattern of offending against the virtual property, which is hard to be explained as theft nor fraud. The expansive explanation of theft are against the principle nullapoena sine lege. The explanation of fraud runs counter to the current fraud doctrine. The conviction as the crime against the computer system is only an expedient measure in positive Penal Code. Therefore it is necessary to set up a new crime in Penal Code in order to deal with the case of causing property damage through misuse of the personal information of the other. However there is also some behavior pattern against virtual property, which can be convicted of the traditional crime against property such as fraud. |
