Why are some illegal services not allowed?

[Departure]

Why are some unethical/illegal services allowed but others are not.

Like FTID services for example are not allowed, but selling scripts and such are. I was under the impression that using a bot is not illegal but the people who create them are infringing on copyright law and it is illegal. We also have the RSPS Market which for sure has to be illegal for the same copyright reasons. We also allow the sale of counterfeit in Non Virtual Sales which is also a heft jail sentence.

 

How is credit card fraud, and botting/modding video games even comparable lmao

When one bots or sells accounts, one breaks RuneScape's ToS, which is not the equivalent of a (criminal) law that's undergone the democratic process of a country.

I'd say those two are pretty marginally different

Ye those are. I agree botting or selling accounts is not illegal but selling counterfeit Items which people do in non-virtual sales and making bot scripts are both definitely illegal. That is also why I mentioned the RSPS market which is illegal in itself.

FTID is not Credit Card fraud its Mail Fraud which is probably worse though. My point being though is why did sythe draw a line in the sand where selling counterfeit items is ok and infringement of copyright is cool, but others are not.

 

[President]

Which counterfeit items are sold on Sythe? And which specific law deems these sales illegal in the criminal sense?
And selling bot scripts is illegal? Again, which law says that?

"In the U.S., it's illegal for a person to sell counterfeit merchandise. Both state and federal laws prohibit this type of conduct. If you knowingly sell or intend to sell a fake item, you could be sentenced to years in prison and/or be ordered to pay steep fines."

Using a bot Is not illegal I dont believe. Making them definitely is as well as selling them.

Selling replicas and identifying them as such, and trying to sell counterfeit items as an original product are two very different things. And bots are used in every single industry in the world, I don't know where the hell you got that information from

Its not the botting its the way the people get access to make the bots. They have to deobfuscation which is the illegal part. Secondly it does not matter if you advertise that the item is counterfeit still illegal.

I guess every single company selling car parts is illegal then

What? IT would be illegal if they were making Car Parts and stamping them with the BMW logo and selling them without getting an agreement from BMW.

So M-Performance Bodykits for BMW, which are all replicas are illegal?

 

[ob7ivion]

there's a very clear gap between copyright issues and fraud/theft lmao

 

[1st noob7]

Educated guess is because it is just that, illegal

 

[PijaVenosa]

It comes down to the forum owner's personal ethic and its compromises with the ethics of the powers that be.

Porn is legal but not allowed here,for example. Also copyright infringement is illegal but allowed here.
