Research on Property Right Protection of Virtual Property
The protection of virtual property under the property rights system is predicated on the establishment of its property rights attributes and can be achieved through the application of property rights rules. Although Chinese law has not explicitly defined its legal attributes, it has indirectly recognized the property rights status of virtual property through declaratory provisions, enabling it to be protected under the principles of property rights. However, applying property rights rules to protect virtual property, while broadening the scope of protection, also brings certain application confusions. If virtual property is included in the category of property rights, it is necessary to first clarify its ownership subject before further discussing the issue of ownership after property rights changes. In addition, determining the price of virtual property during the process of property rights changes has also become a key difficulty in transactions. At the same time, the subjective tendencies of network service providers in value assessment are not conducive to the effective realization of property rights protection for virtual property.
