Summary/Abstract: The concept of “online property (rights)” raises two questions since it stems from the combination of two categories: Is there a single, precise legal definition of “property”, and – if it is – where does it come from? And what is the reason for analysing “online” property more exactly? Is it possible or even necessary to distinguish between property in the real world (i.e. “offline” property) and property in a virtual world (“cyberspace”)?
