The guy was a noob.

What is this game, [insert themepark MMO]?

Fairly sure that's against the EULA if not outright illegal.

I can't really agree on that either. It kind of makes it as though you're giving human beings a free pass on scamming and belittling for the sake of them "learning something".

We shouldn't feel sympathy for the guy who let himself just be made a fooled of, but to accept these actions from the scammers as just "it happens" is just ludicrous.

When people invest over an hour f'ing someone else over out of game - it's no longer just a game.

The 'its just a vidya game' argument is hypocritical in most cases

he was specifically targeted

This was recorded and put up on a publicly available site WITHOUT HIS CONSENT

In most countries including the US as far as I can research, this is a violation of his rights

people still get sued, and even prison sentences for abusing people on facebook, on twitter and even forums.

Whether or not it's voluntary participation is beside the point. I can't throw rocks at you, and then claim that since you chose to stand where I was throwing rocks, it's not my fault they hit you.

The fact of it although is that it's already illegal in many countries to bully people, regardless of the format or method of delivery, so you can say what you want, it doesn't change it's legality, which in this case appears to me to be across the line

Something was published that is probably not allowed to be published.

(3) appropriating or using his image or voice while he is in private premises;

(5) using his name, image, likeness or voice for a purpose other than the legitimate information of the public;

I will claim the same as soon I get my hands on your naked selfies:)

EDIT: I didn't listen in. He really accepted it to be recorded? What an idiot. In these cases I tend to question whether those people are actually legally "capable of acting". Guess his wife should take over.

If this is the type of behavior CCP condones, then I can't support them.

You can go **** yourself. People like you are the sludge of the community.

They purposely recorded him and convinced him to do humiliating things to publicly display his humiliation

could you be interested in a loan? with just a small collateral?

That ended pretty well indeed

"No, you do not have my permission".

Does it matter if someone explicitly tells you you do not have their permission to publicly release a recording of their voice, then you do it anyway? Yes, yes it matters.
