[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58485, member: 1"] Bungie has achieved a legal victory in its attempt to stop Destiny 2 cheat sellers, as a judge ruled that cheat maker AimJunkies violated Bungie's copyright through the creation of its aimbots. Reported by [URL='https://www.eurogamer.net/bungie-wins-44m-lawsuit-against-destiny-cheat-seller-aimjunkies']Eurogamer[/URL], Bungie has won $4,396,222 in damages and legal fees. The anti-cheating legal battle has been going on for nearly two years. Bungie first filed the lawsuit against AimJunkies in April 2021, saying that AimJunkies violated its copyright laws by producing cheats. The case was originally dismissed in May 2021 when a U.S. District Court Judge said there wasn't enough evidence to prove copyright infrigements. Bungie filed a new complaint just a few weeks later. Last August, AimJunkies' parent company Phoenix Digital Group LLC released an [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/destiny-2-legal-battle-escalates-as-cheats-company-retaliates-against-bungie']aggressive statement against Bungie[/URL] that read in part, "Bungie and their counsel apparently believe the more s**t you throw at the wall, the greater the possibility of something sticking with the court, no matter how ridiculous or absurd it is in the real world."
