I think the last Private server settlement was the same amount too. Not sure how that amount is even calculated....

[Untradeable]

Nevermind.

No.
I think the one you are talking about is being sued for about half a million USD.

[Combattente]

... ouch.

[Liteness]

nexon is genius???

- ruin game
- people makes private servers
- sue them for $$$

:D

Why are charges in the United States so damn outdated? This is almost as retarded as $150,000 per song.

[ShinkuDragon]

uuh, mind giving me some more backstory? which PS was this guy in charge of?

[Avoidant]

Let's all make private servers! They can't sue us all!
WAHAHAHAHA

Nexon sued the people who made the MapleStory server sources.
Even though that case isn't even done yet, they sued another guy (Sithu) earlier this year for, as you can see, a much more larger amount although his server was really small.
Sithu (if I'm reading this correctly) gave in and agreed to pay 750,000 USD.

Arbitrarily high numbers. It's not like they have the money anyway. Even all of their assets combined probably aren't even worth a fraction of that. What are they going to do, lend them money then take it right back? dohoho

I'd assume they'd be making monthly payments until the $750,000 is fully paid.

Or file for bankruptcy.

Was this person in charge of a major server or something, because I've never heard of him.

[Raikeno]

Me either. In fact, I think it's a bit ridiculous that they're suing him for 750 Grand. Poor guy.

Then again it is pretty ridiculous thinking it will be cheap to steal from a major corporation and then get caught.

Or file for bankruptcy.

If it is anything like the $150,000 a song case you cannot file bankruptcy

Don't forget that he was probably told to take it down before lawsuit. (Not that I know anything of this particular case.)

[Falkentyne]

Then you just can't pay.. They can't make you pay if you don't have money.
So you go to jail, get out, file for disability, profit.
If you're not working, they can't do anything.
