Dear users of GunBound Classic,

I regret to inform you all that GunBound Classic will be shut down as of April 3rd, 2007. This is the e-mail I have recently recieved:

Quote:
 
To whom it may concern,
We have been informed that a site you are affiliated with and have active involvement in is in violation of the No Electronic Theft Act (NET Act). More specifically, the site http://gunboundclassic.com ("GunBound Classic Service") violates section II (Willful Infringement) of the No Electronic Theft Act which allows individuals to be held civilly liable for statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work infringed. By participating in the past-time coined "private server", you are infringing the developers' copyright(s) by illegally modifying/manipulating the code in their distributed application. We, the legal representation of Softnyx, are hereby giving you advanced notification that your site will indeed be shutdown, the individuals responsible for the NET Act violations will be prosecuted and the administrators will also be held responsible to a certain extent. However, on the condition that the "private server" is to be shut down and GunBound Classic moves towards a more legitimately style of website, all civil charges will be dropped.

Regards,
Matt Hendrix



Edit: I have also recieved a written copy of the letter sent directly to my home. PM me if you want a scanned copy.[/color]

Well, the name Matt Hendrix should have gave it away, even thought section II (Willful Infringement) is real, Why would a American be dealing with two Korean companies? None the less, A Represenative?
