OP here, I left out the knife part originally because for Slashdot I figured the real interesting fact was the "game data equals good" part. The original ruling already had the other person convicted because of the knife thing, but the defense argued that the crime could not constitute actual theft because there were no goods to be stolen. That is what the supreme court overturned, and that is the 'news' part in this story.
