If I wrote a software that improved the speed of Windows by 1000% and made a lot of money from it, should Microsoft be able to sue me? Nexon should not be able to dictate what software people run on their computer in conjunction with their software except by refusing service (banning). Just like Microsoft cannot tell me what software I choose to run on Windows. To do so WOULD be anticompetitive.
happylight Wrote:Er no. If that's true then Microsoft would be able to sue anyone who writes software that runs on Windows.
After reading all your posts together, I truly hope the hackers hire you as their defense attorney because Nexon would win in a landslide.
Also in the future, I hope you will not try to interpret what can and cannot be done in the court of law because it is a waste of other people's time trying to respond to your ridiculous understanding of the civil court system.
