Legal nature of virtual objects purchased for real money in multiplayer on-line
games
A.I. Savelyev
The present article analyses the legal nature of various virtual objects in
multiplayer on-line games, which have actual or potential value due to the
possibility to be purchased for real money. In practice there are many disputes not
only between rightholders (service-providers) and users, but also between users
themselves regarding such objects, sometimes accompanied by claims for
compensation for blocked accounts or lost virtual objects. The article analyses
existing legislation, doctrine, Russian and foreign case law on this matter. The
author comes to a conclusion that virtual objects can be treated as "other assets" in
the context of Art. 128 of the Civil Code of Russia and thus can be protected by
tort and unjust enrichment provisions.
