Teens receive community service over RuneScape

http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/10/dutc...s-sen.html

Quote:
Two teens have been convicted by a Dutch court of coercing a younger boy into transferring items to their account within the Runescape virtual world, reports the Associated Press.

"These virtual goods are goods (under Dutch law), so this is theft," said the court of its ruling.

The 15-year-old offender was sentenced to 200 hours of community service, while his 14-year-old cohort was given 160 hours.

Sentencing teens to community service for theft is not noteworthy by itself, but this marks one of the first instances in which an official court has ruled that the theft of virtual goods is tantamount to the theft of actual goods.


That will teach them for playing RuneScape Wink

I think playing Runescape was enough of a punishment.
