First of all, it is worth clarifying that users are accused not of crooking, but of "violation of copyright Epic By introducing an unauthorized computer code into a code protected by copyright ".

The most interesting thing is that one of the defendants is a 14-year-old teenager. He posted a video on YouTube, which explained what needs to be done with cheats, and when the authors Fortnite demanded to delete the video, filed a complaint against them. By law, the company was obliged to either withdraw a request or go to court. In the end Epic I chose the last.

"Epic will not tolerate constant crook Turboninocasino.co.uk and copyright violations from anyone and any age, – said the company representative in the comment of Eurogamer. – As we said earlier, we perceive cheatics seriously and use all possible means so that our games remain funny and honest and maintain the spirit of competition among gamers ”.

The mother of a lover of a dishonest game, obviously, was not enthusiastic about this situation and sent a letter to the court. Here are a few statements from her appeal:

• Her child “did not modify the game and did not create cheat programs”, and Epic "Unable to prove any form of modification".
• The woman admits that her son was cheating in Fortnite, But many other users are engaged in the same.
• so that a minor can play in Fortnite, He must get the consent of his parents, and his mother did not give him.
• The company cannot talk about loss of profit, since the militant is distributed according to the conventionally paid model. Epic makes a “scapegoat” from a teenager because she is not able to cope with cheates.
• The name and data of her minor son were published, and this is prohibited by law.
• The young man fudged in Fortnite live, but did not earn money on this.

The indignant parent asks the district judge to reject the lawsuit, because the violation does not give a major game company the right to blame a minor. You can get acquainted with the full text of the letter here.
