Ar forums based around botting say, club live, boomertowne, webridestv, and etc illegal? I bought a forum and I found out that they were threatened by the lawyer representing boomertowne to remove anything relating botting the site. if you don't know, botting, macro's, etc are used to automate the process of gettting points on the site to get items. And exploiting the site as well if there are exploits. Thanks!
Botting and Marcos are definitely against the TOS of the game, but I don't know if they can bring any sort of civil lawsuit for it. If you want to be absolutely sure contact a lawyer who knows this kind of stuff and ask them.
I was contacted by boomertowne saying my site breaks this act: http://www.panix.com/~eck/computer-fraud-act.html so I must take down their board. I'm reading through the act and I see nothing of the sort stating about exploiting(which I'm not), botting, or macros. Should I tell them to point it out to me?
I think a simple disclaimer that the webmaster is in no way responsible for whatever the site's users will upload should do the trick. Let's face it, there are over a thousand websites in similar niche.
