Lawyers and Internet Games....

Now this is just for relevance, but it's something I'm kinda familiar with these days.

Since the advent of all these start up internet companies that believe there's big profit in the internet they end up suffering, struggling and eventually capitulating to big lawyers.... I know of a few MMORPG's that have 're-opened' accounts because of Lawyers threatening them with a case that they can ill afford.

Personally I believe internet companies that are forced into these situations should release the details of said users and see if they'll continue with the case in light of shitloads of people willing to exact some 'internet' justice back.

Re: Lawyers and Internet Games....

But wouldent releasing the users personal information be a violation of several agreements. I havent read the EULA recently, but I remember it saying that it wont release any personal information to any other party but admin staff. So if companies followed what you suggested then they would leave themselfs open for lots of lawsuits for sure.
