GUYS

We have reports that someone has STOLEN 4 titans in EVE!!!!!

PUNCH IT!

Oh noes! The polish authorities are going to get me

But then they'll read the EULA and learn that everything in Eve is the property of CCP and they really don't give a crap about those pixels

Not the stealing but logging in someone else name is considered illegal in several countries. Where I live its classified as fake personification (any use of other person login and password in any system would be) and can get you up to 2 years in jail. So depending on the laws of that country, that might be something.

Of which you don't have any rights of ownership to because you clicked the "I agree" button.

You're missing one small thing.

Account cracking (I'm quoting the UK version of the law, the computer misuse act). :

Under the assumption that account 'cracking' took place: (Obviously if unauthorized account access did not take place this does not apply, but it seems that an accusation of such has been made after reading the article fully. The CEO does accuse the individuals responsible of accessing the account without prior permission.)

Of which you don't have any rights of ownership to because you clicked the "I agree" button.

In my country all I have to say is a few Magic words "I don't understand the contract" repeat that a few times and the contract is null and void.
Furthermore whoever issued the contract must create a new one JUST for the person who doesn't understand the contract, over and over until the person says, I understand the contract and then sign's it.\

Try it at your local used car dealership with the police present some day.

Doesn't that just mean they were account sharing, which is against the EULA? So not only has the dude lost 4 titans, AND made himself look stupid by threatening to get the police involved, AND petitionining to get them back to CCP, he may also now get banned?

Lol.

I wonder if CCP will run this like most IT companies I know of.

At my old workplace, the second a customer made any sort of legal "noise", policy was to suspend access to services until the legal issues were worked out. Even if the company wasn't directly involved, if the accusations were made with company service involved, plugs got pulled. Liability and all that jazz.

It would be funny if coven managed to talk themselves into even more account troubles on top of this alleged theft, using the "we're going to the popo!" argument.

Nope.

Because no one logged into anyone else's account - Read the whole article.
An insider granted access to the POS; the titans were just sitting there, pilotless. All perfectly within the rules and laws.

Excellent.

Coven member guy claimed that even 10 diffrent users within Ally had acces to Titan holder alts accounts, so yeah whey all will taste CCP's Ban Hammer propably.

Too bad for them that they started yapping on forums / Evenews24 before thinking all over. Now damage wont end on just 4 Titans, but pull 10 accounts with them aswell.

So, somebody stole, awoxed, or RMT'd four titans. Anyone care to confess?

The real question is the violation of EULA that allowed someone to log into the holding toons.

NVM, I don't know enough about titans to really comment here.

It has been considered that virtual goods should be treated in much the same way as real goods, because after all, you have paid real money for it.

People still aren't reading the article fully. No unlawful logging took place. Pilots on their own accounts were granted access to the POS by an insider.

No matter how many people are fapping to the idea of law enforcement getting involved, no crime was committed.

That is still illegal HERE where I live. If I give you my bank card and its password, and you go to the ATM , log on it , you are accessing the system faking your identity. Its still a crime here even if I helped you, in that case both parts would be involved in the crime. Obviously nothing would happen because the owner of the bank account would not press charges on this case. So for example, If someone from my own country log into my eve account , no matters how he got the password, I can charge him as faking my identity. If he has no criminal background he will get an official legal warning if no damage was done, but if he has some criminal background he can get into trouble.
