Hang on.. so if you say something bad about a company in a forum that's enough for a judge to give that company your name and address?
So if I were to associate my various accounts on forums with a corporation I own then I should be able to get the names and address of all who ever criticized a comment of mine on reddit, yes?
Probably not but still.. wtf?
- WillPostForFood 10y agoIt doesn't really have anything to do with being a company/corporation. He is filing the lawsuit as an individual, not on behalf of Digital Homicide (which may not even be a corporation). He is suing because of things that were said about him.
- merb 10y agosome comments where actually pretty rough. but really most things can't be taken seriously, most of them are kids in anger. they say stupid things a lot of the time, if you take that too serious while developing indie games. than you would need a whole fleet of lawyers.
- moron4hire 10y agoWe need to stop dismissing the shitty attitudes of gamers as "kids in anger", because far more frequently it's actually "adults who should know better".
- Calamitous 10y ago...or even "kids who should know better".
- roel_v 10y agoYes, if you convince a judge that whatever is it you're looking for these people for, has a minimum amount of merit. You don't even need a company. If you're looking to sue someone, you can ask a judge to compel a third party to turn over any information they have that's material to whatever you're suing for. Like names or other identifying information, or other evidence.
