All Digital Goods and Virtual World Offenses

Offenses in which the object of the wrongdoing is digital property or something that exists only inside an online environment. An entry belongs here when its cited source describes the unlawful copying or distribution of copyrighted digital works, or acts committed in virtual worlds and online games that take or damage virtual goods. It does not belong here when the offense is mainly about breaking into a computer system, defrauding a person through payment channels, or harassing someone online, which have their own groups in this subcategory. The group covers a boundary where ownership, copyright and the status of virtual property are still contested in many legal systems.
