Online Gamer in China Sues, Wins Over Virtual Theft
In short… some guy spent over $1000 playing an online game but had his account hacked. The hacker stole the guy’s video game character’s equipment. The guy freaked out, went to the video game company and complained to no avail. So the guy went to court and won. The judge ordered the equipment, including a virtual cache of bio-chemical weapons, returned to its proper owner.
