[QUOTE="Parsov, post: 469414, member: 68429"] As I mentioned Sulake does not have the strength to go around sueing private servers most games have private servers which get more than 1k users. It's normal. Their main worry should be how to stop people from doing it not catching people that do. It might only be a big concern if the people who run the private server make a lot of money. And yet then if they are able to cover themselves it'll give the company a hard time. But in Habbo's case theres not too many hotels that are making good money. I don't know what you mean. If retros die down why would Sulake sue them? That's what they want to happen. There would be no reason to sue a private server that makes / gets barely anything. It depends where you live and where your hosting is. And it's policies. If you are like me and live in a 3rd world country full of corruption. No one will really care for what Sulake has to say. And even if they go far as you getting called in. You can just bribe to get yourself out and carry on what you were doing. And if you are making money that much that Sulake is concerned. You might aswell just host it yourself. If you live in UK or some European country that's a different story and might end up having big consequences. I don't think they will start an international investigation on something like this since you're not making money from malware or scamming. It's just a game. Basically what I'm saying is if you live in UK and get a letter by email (most likely). You should just accept your fate and move on from private servers. But if you do get a letter that means there is not really an investigation on you. And you're not really a target they just don't want you to become one. They see a potential you might end up making good money from it. So this situation is not really that severe it's like the HMRC sending you a brown letter telling you need to pay tax. If you ignore it, It might become more serious but if you just accept your fate and end what you are doing then you're good. On the other hand if you live in a foreign 3rd world country and you get this email. You can just ignore it and hope they will never find who you are and even if they do. Nothing will happen. If you are a target they will not send any emails. They might've found you months ago you just don't know. Now there might be many scenarios here again depending on where you live and how severe your case is. You might have a few officers come knock on your door and seize what they are suspicious of. And have you on bail. Or you get a letter directly calling you to court on some date. And again they will most likely seize a few things. In most cases you lose all the money you made or more. And mostly hard disks get taken away. I don't think in any case it wont be as severe as FBI breaking your door and you get sent to jail for 100 years. (This entire explanation is mostly Western countries). But in any country they can just take down the website. So that's that. [/QUOTE]
