"virtual or not, they took that which did not belong to them" Which was exactly what the court considered. Under dutch jurisprudence a "good" is something that is "owned by" someone and that has a value to the person that owns it. This value is not necessary a monetary value as in the case of virtual objects. The fact that the virtual items are considered goods constitutes the crime of robbery (larceny aggravated by force).
