Being podded to newbie SP condition is an accepted gameplay mechanic.
All of us accept it whenever we undock.

Being provoked and humiliated, recorded and made fun of in public is not.

I have just finished Funky Bacons blog on the matter and one thing struck me.

I noticed that it was stated somewhere in this thread that E1 stated that he has reviewed the EULA/TOS carefully to ensure that he does not break them, hence him making sure he uses 3rd Party Comms, and also makes sure he gain consent so he does not break any laws.

If what he is doing fine then why so be so careful you are not breaking any laws?

You would only check this as you know what you are doing is both morally and ethically wrong and want a way out if something goes wrong.

If you know that what you are doing is fine you wouldn't go to the lengths he has to cover his own ass.

The participant of the bonus room (Not victim, you nimrod) has to show full faih.
Some tasks require him to sing songs.
If Erotica feels he is 100% genuine, he wins. -(emphasis mine, MB)-
It's the rules of the house man, you can't argue with the house. You could leave the house if you don't like it.

DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WEENER.

Who cares?

In the 200 and whatever pages of this thread nobody can name what EULA and TOS rules E1 has broken. Everything that E1 did in that recording are things that have taken place for the last decade.

E1 did not harrass, insult or use racial and threatening language. The contestant, however, did.

E1 did not gain any out of game service for isk either. We have ransomed songs out of Devs before, its perfectly fine.

It really is impossible to keep up with this thread. I left last night @ 182 and came back today @264 and soaring.

Its up to you to find the rules that have been broken, which nobody has managed to do in getting on for 300 pages of this whitchhunt.

We (BU) had him on our TS3 the other night, and we were arguing about this issue. He specifically said, in just this way "And can I ask where you got your law degrees?" to one of the people in the channel. When pressed on the issue of whether or not he's a lawyer, he dances around it pretty poorly. "I never said I was a lawyer. What makes you think I'm a lawyer?"

His tactics are so sophomoric and transparent it's ridiculous. But I guess he did claim to be a lawyer, eh?

That is a commonly held false belief.

"Torture is the systematic and deliberate infliction of acute pain by one person on another, or on a third person, in order to accomplish the purpose of the former against the will of the latter." - Amnesty International.

There is no requirement of being constrained from leaving the situation, or for being subjected to torture involuntarily, in the above.

At law, according to this definition, it is a question of the "purpose of the former against the will of the latter."

In the specific case of Erotica1's activities in the Bonus Room, torture is the mechanism whereby they force the victim to abort the Bonus Room participation, thereby granting a win to Erotica1.

It is exactly by a person LEAVING the torture he is subjected to within the Bonus Room, that facilitates Erotica1 wins.

Have you read the post linked in my sig?

I would encourage you to do so.

Question: While everyone is in this thread, has the rest of forum been tamer and has Jita been accessible? If so, we could keep it open until the opening of the time capsule, which may reveal some messages of note. :o)

So even Goonswarm, the leading group in emergent gameplay, metagaming and scamming did not agreed with your actions, that says something.

More like, the director says "jump", the CEO says "how high?".

I have not claimed to be an officer of any court.
I have forwarded my view, as outlined in the post linked in my sig, to some authorities though, yes.
