virtual crime?

[TerraFrost]

in tokyo, you can apparently get arrested for theft of stuff on games...
personally, i think this should fall under the juristdiction of the people who make the game - not the law...
if a player is cheating, they should ban him - not arrest him in real life. i mean, what's next? should people get arrested in diablo i for dupping? that's kinda a bad example, but my point is that i think they should have dealt with it themselves. take it as a lesson, and revamp security, or whatever.

anyways, here's the article:
