"...the case does seem to transfer some real-world principles to the online universe..."

As well it should, since the 'game' exists in the real world, and affects real people in the real world. Theft is theft, regardless if the 'product' is real or virtual... especially if the money is real, and if the making of the money is at the expense of a company that created and owns the intellectual property that is being sold.
