person who suggested precedent of the case against hackers - prob not. nexon only won since alleged h4ckers ran out of money or gave up
the case is very flimsy. as typhoon said, they were just moderators. if they had backed themselfs and had enough money to pay for lawyers, nexon could not have won. even against riu himself, the case was very flimsy and probably would have failed if he wasn't forced to give up
the damages awarded are far in excess of any possible measure of damage done to the game. due to the construction of the IP law regime. mosf of these people are just kids
Rui apparently is like mid 20's. Most of these people are actually the 18 threshold.

those defending themselves are having a much harder time as nexon keeps making headway. this is not an underdog story who ran out of money and lost. and while he should have started with jurisdiction argument, i believe that as soon as he showed up, he would eventually lose. having more money than your opponent is also a strategy, and both sides kept asking for delayed appearances.
A minor being sued for this would probably be an entirely different story, maybe not even entertained.
