Abstract

Although network virtual property exists only in cyberspace, it has the same exchange value in the real world. Therefore, it is justifiable and necessary to protect network virtual property. Network virtual property is not a legal concept in the strict sense, which leads to the lack of applicable legal norms to protect network virtual property and transactions despite the gradual expansion of the scale of network virtual property transactions in the real world. Based on this, this paper studies how to better protect network virtual property from the perspective of criminal law and regulation, how to correctly understand the essence of network virtual property protection in order to achieve the purpose of protection, and puts forward specific suggestions on how to improve the existing legal system.
