Check that out, it covers some interesting stuff that may prevent them from pursuing too much legal action.

LOL you cant write a threat of legal action by email.... it isnt official, a writen warning has to be sent in the post, also gl on that jagex...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA what a bunch of absolute shit. No one will be sued and fagex are a bunch of retards, in australia you can actually sue them in a district court for false claims. Gl faggots.

You're pretty safe in AU.

Tbh I don't think they have two feet to stand on with their lawsuit. They will probably have to show damages caused by each instance of botting, and putting a monetary figure on that is difficult -- i.e. it is difficult to show how you did damage to their property by playing the game in a slightly different way.

Further, as I recall, their last lawsuit had trouble even mounting a federal copyright complaint, as they have very little registered as copyrighted in the US...

All the same, if they're going to throw $100,000 at a lawsuit against botting, best not to be in the firing line.

[E Scape]

How do they sue someone from a different country?

I'm assuming this only applies to the people who register emails under their accounts otherwise I don't know how else they would get your email.

Basically any account you care about should have an email registered to it.

 

[Scarlet_Blade]

(1) permanently removing your account from our wonderful community in order to protect Jagex's rights under the DMCA, and (2) naming you as a defendant in Jagex Limited v. John Does, which is a lawsuit based on DMCA violations that is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Civ. Action No. SACV11-00969-CJC).

Making threats and it hasn't been passed.

Jagex is a trololol

A common theory is that they obtain your email via any payed bots that you have bought through paypal.

 

[Caper]

Nothing is going to happen, they will put on their "big boy pants" to scare you and hope that you surrender.

Time to make an Anti-Ban for my new script Jagex won't win.
