In virtual economies, theft challenges our conventional notions of property. Here, assets are digital and often socially constructed rather than physically fixed, meaning that the lines of ownership and unauthorized taking can blur. While theft in the real world is clearly defined by physical deprivation and legal frameworks, digital theft often revolves around breaches of platform rules or cyber-crimes, raising questions about what it truly means to “own” something intangible. This reimagining compels us to reassess our ethical and legal foundations as value and property evolve in virtual spaces.
