Teenager taken to court for giving away a friend's VIRTUAL gold in RuneScape

But it still is kinda fucked up that he gave away her “life savings” in gold. That does sound like a lot. It was more about to principle of what he did and not that fact that the money wasnt real, her privacy was invaded and he took his liberties with something that didn’t belong to him. That is very wrong, male or female.

But again I know how it works on SRK. Its like a misogynist camp. Lets act like we ALL wouldnt lose our shit if someone deleted or “gave away” our hard drive full of saved data or something.

I stab my girl in the anus occasionally whenever I am mad at her.

There was another thread about some dudes girlfriend that deleted his characters or some shit and I am sure the general consensus was that he was a bitch and more than likely a Soulja boy fan.

I cannot believe this shit was even taken seriously in a court of law…fucking waste of time!

I kind of agree with you. For most of us, it’s stupid she got so worked up over fake money. But doing something for so long, you put a lot of sentimental value to it. I think about how many hours she spent to only have it taken away. Like if somebody goes on your personal computer and deletes all your personal word documents, files, and pics. Nothing of actual monetary value would be lost, but that’s still messed up and you’d be super pissed. Is this lawsuit worthy? On the outside, I’m going to say no. But if it happens to me, I’d probably say hell yes it is.

Just out of curiosity, if I’m an aspiring artist and somebody destroys my paintings, can I sue?

Sure you can sue. And depending on how good your lawyer is you can sue for an obnoxious amount, mostly in the form of emotional distress.

One of the first times I got corrupted data/cpu hard drive corruption before I invested in backup cds (before cheap externals at the time) I just sat there in silence with eyes watery. That shit hurts.

naaa, anywhere outside of North America, and he could have butchered her in the streets and nobody would have done fuck all
