I believe debtor's gaols were quite common - so they have precedent in common law countries. Not the US as far as i know though. It's a semantic term. Don't worry soon the language will change as more "property" becomes virtual. Who the hell would have though 30 years ago that people would buy water in a bottle. Think on that, a product that no company made but decided to sell! Fascinating. If I steal water from a machine (like at the store) I would go to jail. Man amazing, all thats solid melts into air. Funny world we live in.
