摘 要:盗窃罪与非法获取计算机信息系统数据罪均无法为盗窃虚拟财产行为规制提供一揽子方案。我国学者将虚拟财产分为三类。账号类虚拟财产可以作为计算机信息数据,盗窃货币类虚拟财产可以用盗窃罪进行处罚。盗窃物品类虚拟财产行为如何规制是问题解决的关键。物品类虚拟财产不是刑法认可的财产性利益,但针对其进行的盗窃行为损害了用户对网络服务的信赖利益,该利益受到了西方法治发达国家的认可,也符合网络空间运行的诉求,待时机成熟,可以制定专门刑事法律对此进行规制。

自网络时代开启以来,盗窃虚拟财产如何进行规制一直是刑法学者关心的重要问题。随着网络空间的形成,盗窃虚拟财产在新的网络秩序下面临新的问题,值得我们对此重新进行审视。
一、学说之争与司法现状
关于盗窃虚拟财产行为的规制路径,学界有三种观点:第一,以传统的侵害财产犯罪进行规制。持此观点的学者倾向于将虚拟财产认定为财产或者财产性利益,再根据侵害行为的不同适用具体的罪名。以陈兴良、张明楷为代表人物。1第二种观点认为,虚拟财产不具备财产的性质,究其本质不过是一堆数据代码,属于计算机信息系统数据,应当以非法获取计算机信息系统数据罪或破坏计算机信息系统数据罪来规制。……
