Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

How do you sue somebody anonymous?

[–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 9 points 11 hours ago

Oh, that's easy. You have one of your rent-a-cops grab a random dude off the street, beat a confession out of him, and then sue that guy.

They're hoping for a default decision in their favour when the anonymous person(s) don't show up to court. Then they try to use that court order to shut down their work wherever thay can

Does have me wondering what the Austrian legal system is like (where Denuvo is headquartered). Seems hard to set a court decision when the accused hasn't even been identified. Can they even prove it's a single person?

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They didn‘t file it in Austria so I assume that doesn‘t matter much.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Ugh, thank you, my reading comprehension is not strong today.

But the work is already illegal. This is probably more about getting court injunctions against services (like, for example, Reddit) that might have the guy's PII. Obviously voices covers his tracks, but getting a bunch of his anonymized data might reveal a slip-up.

I probably shouldn’t comment as I haven’t read the article (SHAME) but my assumption is this is the first step to compel platforms the cracker may have used to providing identifiable information on them.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I think I understand the approach.

Pro-consumer data/service companies have privacy policies where they don’t share someone’s info. The sole exception is when that person has used those services to break the law. The suit may have the intent of establishing that fact so said services consider providing the user’s info.
