Now I've heard it all, women faces jail for virtual killing of her online husband

Strange story indeed. Korean kids do nothing but play games. There are loads of PC rooms and the kids all pile in straight after school. All Sudden Attack and other games that Im too uncool to know. And the adults are just as bad. Loads of men looking to avoid their wives and play internet poker.

There was a story last year that a guy was so into his game for 36 hours that he died. He didnt move from his chair except to go to the bathroom. Nobody checked up on him and his fascination took his soul. Startling story really.

I've done this several times but with internet porn rather than games.

Be wary Mr Baggins. People have died from these types of activities. Be it porn or games, it all comes down to the eyes being unable to pull away from the MONITOR.....

Looking at a TV or PC moniter for too long is bad for the eyes.

Heard a rumor that wacking off makes you go blind... Hows your eyesight there Clubber?

I think it's the fact that she hacked into someone else's computer that got her jailed.

But jeez! I can feel good knowing that there are people out there who are much more sadistic and pathetic than me.

Yeah, it is. But the issue of non-physical property rights is going to have to be addressed. Not necessarily in a game like this as I'm sure death is a possibility within the confines of this game, but say someone had some code they created and was able to kill off a character or in the other case I mentioned where the guy stole an item from a friend and sold it. The person it belonged to had put a lot of time and effort into building the sword into what it became only to have it taken from him. With the ever-increasing popularity of these games this is going to happen more and more.

That being said, it is funny how pathetic this is.

But does this mean that if someone cruelly took my rep points away I'd have the legal grounds to file a lawsuit against them?

How great would it be for Amat to get a court summon's because he neg repped me when I was hungover and made me feel sick.

He should go to prison for that imo, cruel and abusive behaviour, maybe serve a week inside and get some community service.

If only we were both Japanese, he'd feel the full effects of nonsense law coming down on his ass.

I get you're being facetious, but I'm not necessarily talking about in this case. I think there should be a means of determining real damages that have an impact on your physical self as opposed to just being on-line. You hack into my account and make crazy statements is one thing. You hack into my account and make defamatory statements against someone and I get sued is another.
