Play with fire...

Boy got served.

must of **** himself when they read out " The defendant Anujan Panchadcharam shall pay to the plaintiff damages in the amount of $750,000" i know i would lol.

 

[MentaL]

all because he edited the client to connect to his server (The servers are emulators).

 

[Geordiehc]

All im saying is thank god WeMade are so lazy

 

[MentaL]

Wemade generally don't care. They make so much money that what does a player base of a few hundred matter? Nexon is now a billion dollar corporation and yet it still targets kids and has numerous lawsuits against minors.

pwned. i presume you're still keeping maplestory section up on your forum dan?

 

[MentaL]

yes for now but they are trying to sue me personally but i aint played the game nor have i distributed any files related to it.

 

[Geordiehc]

ouch Mental, be careful man coz if they set up a court date and you don't attend i've heard many things about American judges declaring guilty just from non appearance

 

[Far]

yeah, and that statement said he was guilty of providing means to illegally distribute the game. although you don't host files, you still provide a means to distribute and share the files.

 

[MentaL]

he was distributing the modified client and was already a previous player with strict terms. I've not touched nor shared any files to anybody so his argument is different to mine.

 

[Prai]

Tough case there.

Record it if it ever comes....

 

[Jamie]

So what's the point in charging the kid with $750,000 Is he even likely to earn that in his life?

 

[MentaL]

I updated the original URL from the main developer of the server source used.
