"Regardless of whether or not its a crime as some people have suggested (personally I am not 100% convinced it is a criminal offence, unless there is a statute I am unaware of, although it definitely is a civil wrong doing)."
"This is actually a really interesting area of law, particularly in the UK.
In the UK, to satisfy the crime of theft one has to steal "Moveable corporeal property." Thus virtual property (being incorporeal obviously) theft would not be a criminal offence in the UK."
