CCP is not yankee company and does not operate in USA
Yes it is and yes it does. Having a buisness presence in a country means that it is bound by, and can be sued by, said country's laws. That said, since ccp owns everything anyway it's a moot point, you can't exactly sue someone for damage to something you never did or never will own

all depends on the laws in the country your suing from. The game rules from CCP dont even realy count as Runescapes rules are prety much the same. Courts dont care about corporations rules as they are not laws. And we are talking about LAWS here........
Still doesn't matter. CCP is from Iceland. Pixels you "have" in eve is actually their stuff, on their hardware. Unless the scam includes irl methods (i.e. stealing accounts) it's your own stupid ass that's at fault for losing them pixels.
Not if a court decides those pixels belong to you. Which is a possible consequence of this legal decision. I also wish people would stop with this "ccp is an icelandic company who don't have to worry about american laws" crap. CCP became both an american and icelandic company in November 2006, they are as bound by us law as mc donald's and microsoft

I find it unlikely that a court might make such claims, seeing as agreeing to EULA is required to play the game at all. And since you agree, you're just exploiting CCP's virtual property.
I agree, it would be silly. The problem is, nobody's actually sure whether or not eula's are actually legally binding. To my knowledge, nobody's really been game to test it in a court of law, because of the vast ramifications for either side if they lose
