With the advent of the Internet age, online games become a favorite subject ofpublic entertainment for young people, accompanied by online games plug disturbedthe normal order of the online game market, violating the online game developers,operators and players interests. Online games plug is a kind of software which canenhance functions of a game. It comes out with the development of online games.Definition of online games plug has many disputes in the academic community,but itis mainly defined in aspects of technical and law. I believe that plug is a kind ofcheating software which can enhance actual effects of the game through simulatingthe movement of keyboard and mouse by cheating, or bypassing, modifyingrestrictions ofthe server.In the virtual world, we can play in roles which don’t have in real life toexperience different pleasures.Plug comes up with online games, has many disputessince the first time itappears. It produced a huge impact to the existing system of law.It requires new laws to regulate this new thing. Legal lag causes traditional criminallaw theory and legislative regulation cannot keep up with the current pace of socialdevelopment. Ambiguity of legislation and complexity of judicial interpretation,leading theorists and practitioners to generate a lot of controversy.As the network game plug itself, complexity and diversity,it will be different innature of infringement and degree of harm. Thus, according to the differences innature of infringement and degree of harm against, different laws and regulationsshall be applied: benign plug, if less harmful to society, through administrative orcivil law can be solved; vicious plug, analyze its copyright infringement, dependingon their behavior, determine its crime of copyright infringement, crime of sellinginfringing copies or two crimes of graft; whether it is benign or malignant plug, ifseverely disrupt the market order, the circumstances are especially serious enough toconstitute a crime, It should be regarded as crime of illegal business operations. Dueto the special nature of online games plug itself, the severity of disrupting the marketeconomic order should be identified not only by business volume,illegal income andamount of sales, but also a more comprehensive standard. Itexpects the judiciary toexplain.
