Armadyllo Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Why dont jagex just go through Google deleting the sites that are selling the gold. I'm not familiar with the laws that control this sort of thing, but I don't think it's very easy to delete someone else's website if its hosting company doesn't wish to cooperate. If they're hosted in a different country, Jagex could have a really complicated legal headache trying to make the sites go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialcharacter Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Why is there a difference for foreign hosting companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadyllo Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Jagex wouldn't just have to ask nicely for the offending websites to be removed, they'd have to get some legal grounds for enforcing it. Legal systems can differ from country to country, making this kind of thing complicated. I've heard of websites being shut down successfully over this kind of thing in America and western Europe, but that doesn't necessarily meant it'd be so easy elsewhere. (I'd hope to be wrong about this! Anyone out there studied this sort of law at college?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGM Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I don't see why Jagex can't sue the companies. It's stupid IMO, because that would stop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It's impossible to completly stop the RWT. But it is possible to reduce, and I belive that we can reduce it pretty much to if we just try hard enough.

Adam007 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I don't see why Jagex can't sue the companies. It's stupid IMO, because that would stop them. Jagex's in-game rules have nothing to do with the court system. If they were to sue a company and lose the case, that would set a messy precedent for them. Jagex sees RWT as being wrong but I would think a court could rule differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Im bumping this thread just because its eerily accurate, even if it was posted 4 days ago. You guys really didn't know what hit you... :? The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquiel Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks like they did all of which I talked about o.O Wow... Atleast they could have asked us, the players, if we wanted this before doing it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
