I live in Northern Ireland.
I'm 17 right now, but if there is no time limitations, I'd like to wait till I'm around 25-30, because I'd need money.
When I was 7 I got introduced to an online video game by a friend(not my friend, my parents friends son, he was 19). You could only get the if you knew a person playing it, so the game was pretty underground. It ran on a cracked version of an official licensed title, using a third-party client you were able to unlock multiplayer, and other content that the game was not made for at all. It was interesting and I played it till 13, I then stopped because simply got bored. Right now I'm in college, studying programming and a little IT. Last year we learned a lot about e-commerce, internet business regulations, data managing, and all that jazz. Problem is, that game literally was breaking EVERY single law we were being taught. Will I be able to sue them? It's not just copyright infringement, but how they managed our accounts, service we were given, how we were simply deleted if we disagreed with their rules. And the game required heavy money to play. By the time I was 13 it got to the point that, everyone knew this was happening, old game accounts being sold by admins, accounts getting deleted, payment information being stolen. So since everyone knew it, they didn't hide it and just went mayhem, if you donated too little, you got deleted, payment information leaked, if you donated actually "too much", which meant you were getting too much stuff in the game, you were also deleted. Question is can I wait till I'm 30 to get a stable financial status, before sueing them?
