    Game objects ruled as actual goods by Dutch court

    Interesting - the Dutch court has ruled that objects in games are essentially real goods for several compelling reasons.

    Certainly sets a precedent for other court cases involving virtual items...

    The hilarious thing is that if they had ruled digital objects weren't goods (and thus not a case of theft) I wonder what that would set as precedent for digital pira-- Sorry, I meant copyrighted content distribution. Don't want to insult the kind of pirate that steals ships.

    I guess scamming Tf2 hats is now as illegal as scamming real hats.

    Would the penalty for stealing an unusual hat (unofficially priced at 500 dollars) be harsher than nabbing a 10 dollar tangible hat from Target?

    Per the MAFIAA standards, that $500 hat would cost you $500,000,000. Even moreso if you duped it and gave the original back to the owner.
