you're missing the point here
- no service was denied (everybody was able to play, read what ddos is)
- the chars were likely owned by server owner so he is unlikely to sue himself lol. Following that logic, any kind of stress tests done by server owner would be illegal
- the accounts he used technically belonged to him unless someone can prove ownership somehow (despite having to agree to terms and conditions and privacy policy, they aren't provided when creating an account on their site) so idk if it can count as acc stealing
You quoted a part of my msg without reading past posts.
tons of old accounts which they use to hack and spam advertise their servers on other servers, and in some cases they have even attacked other servers by logging in 500+ accounts at same time u can see this in old original tibia thread
pangeria files are also stolen from
@kito2
this is also why i recommend noone to use otclientv8, its made by kondra which is a big developer for them. god only knows what he has added in his hidden sources
Okey based on what you wrote in this topic...
You trought that I was answering for 1st post. And maybe bcouse of that you mistakely just cutted it out of context.
if server owner commited a fraud (spoofed online count, assuming it's punishable by law which I'm not sure about), which law does apply to him? international laws for sure, but locally... server location or server owner home law?
Answering to your question: all.
If you are living in Poland, you have server in Germany and players from US. US law apply for connection between your players and your server. If you are doing something inlegal, US can ban your game in thier country. If you commite a crime, you are instantly a criminal in Poland too. Germany law apply for server, it's provider, owner, you becouse you borrow it, connection between US player and server, connection between server and you. If you are in Poland then polish law apply for you, Germany law, international law and UE law too. If you commite a crime on any place, home, server, players etc then you are a crimminal in almost every place on Earth. Doing any kind of crime in any kind of country makes you a criminal in almost every place where the same thing is a crime too.
The most important thing is to understand what's the difference between fraud, crime and inlegal.
Inlegal is something what is against any kind of law, rules, policy etc. Like changing amount of real players online and then publishing it on otservlist. Is this Pangeria doing? It's against the otservlist rules. At this point you can be banned there. In some critical situations even sued. Ex. you added your OTS from different account 10000 times and owner wasn't able to keep banning them one by one and annoyed otservlist owner too much etc.
Crime is agains a criminal law, and for that you will go to the jail in most of cases. Crimes have two types one are private, which are prosecuted on complaint and second are prosecuted ex officio. DDoS is a crime. If you DDoS something big which is based on public safety ex news portal then it will be prosecuted ex officio. Stealing data is a crime. Unauthorized connecting to the server is a crime. Using someone's password to enter his account is the same as stealing personality, which is a crime, in this case if the victim isn't a public person then this is prosecuted on complaint. If you spoof for example CallerID, phone number, email etc you may go to the jail. Spoofing is against criminal law in almost every country. UE, US, Ger, Brazil, Poland, Sweden and much more. In this case where you are spoofing own info on own server this offense may be prosecuted on player's complaint or otservlist owner.
Fraud is anykind of a scam. Some of frauds are legally allowed, actually they are not allowed but they are not inlegal. Words matter. And some kind of frauds are just a crime.
Someone in past posts wrote few such things. I just 'converted' them to how it looks from law-view. If you enter with 500 chars as a one person on brand new server, even if your server doesn't have any policy, rules etc this can be a crime, it's based on damage you do. But if owner of the server will see that server have a good popularity becouse he have all the time 500+ players he may decide to buy better hosting after 2-3 weeks. So, entering with 500 fake accounts controlled by one person in this case caused a damage. This can be a part for civil lawsuit. Or a crime prosecuted on complaint. Based on damage. If during that 2-3 week these 500 players caused any kind of damage in form of lags etc this can be threat like a crime.
You can sue anyone for anything. But you won't win everything. All what I wrote is a view from law point with law logic. People don't know the law. But you can easly remember this:
Any kind of inlegal behavior can be written in criminal law. If it's there, you may go to the jail. Sometimes no matter in which country you are.
PS:
I know polish person who got 4 years in jail for changing a phone number he was calling from.
