I believe the decision should be based upon a few factors. For starters was the item stolen or not returned. If it was intentional, the the person would have to pay for their actions (albeit in reasonable bounds as not to go overboard). The second (and probably more defining matter) would be the cost of the item. If the item that was stolen cost $L1, then it should be thrown away. However, if the person stole stuff that equaled to about $500 (not Lindens), then federal action can and should be taken.
Do we really want a world wide body to "govern" the Internet? The history of the Chinese using the Internet and Google for political control does not bode well forthat trend.
And then there is the recent news on Pakistan crashing YouTube to stop "blasphemous" videos:
