Legal advice about computer game hacking?

Okay, for this question I really need someone who knows what they are talking about. Well, a friend of mine has a website that makes hacks for a computer game. The publishers of the game are threatening to sue him if he doesn't stop. The hacks that he makes are all client sided, absolutely nothing he has is server sided. So what grounds can they sue him on?Legal advice about computer game hacking?
They can sue if any of the hacks actually modify the client.





but game publishers are full of ****, every game publisher threatens to sue but they very rarely carry it out, in fact they send out thousands of legal threats per day just hoping to strike fear and hopefully cause some websites to shut down. If they actually do file a claim then you can shut it down......Legal advice about computer game hacking?
Your right, what can they sue him on? There's nothing they can get him on I think, he's not impersonating anyone or anything. Unfortunately I'm not so great in legal/illegal advice giving. oh and the game is warrock, he didn't even have to pay for it... I never heard of anyone get sued for creating or using hacks even for games you have to pay for. Warrock just needs the money so they could keep their little business running. And yes, H is right!
You need to be more specific. What game? What does the hack do? What does the EULA say? You cant expect a precise answer when your information is so ambiguous.





If the hack disadvantages other paying players, it does not matter if it is client or server side, all that matters is that you are altering the game experience for other players.
