LAWYER LOOKS | AimJunkies Accuses Bungie of Destiny 2 Computer Fraud (VL718)
In this episode, Richard Hoeg discusses AimJunkies' response to his analysis, their counterattack on Bungie, and the World of Warcraft, Glider, and copyright infringement controversy. He also explores Game Genies, game modifications, and computer fraud allegations.
Key Points
- Aim Junkies has filed a counterclaim against Bungie, asserting that the use of their cheat software in Destiny 2 does not constitute copyright infringement, referencing the MDY v. Blizzard and Galoob v. Nintendo court cases as part of their defense.
- James May, an individual associated with Aim Junkies, has alleged that Bungie unlawfully accessed and obtained information from his personal computer without authorization, potentially breaching the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions.
- Bungie updated their software license agreement to include explicit permission for their anti-cheat software to scan users' systems, which strengthens their position against Aim Junkies but raises questions about Bungie's previous actions without such explicit terms in their agreement.
