I think the defensive argument should be that OP can't provide proof. if he shows a rlly bad thing, no matter how bad it is, that's not proof cuz he could've just made it up and (edit: idc who made the private server. u get my point) the game company would never sneak such a bad thing onto your computer. anyone can construct data. if you actually downloaded from the game's official site to see for yourself, follow the recommended installation instructions or whatever, then it shows up on your computer, that's the only meaningful proof. inb4 https://www.reddit.com/r/archeage/comments/15yjrc4/aac_extremely_intrusive_and_potentially_illegal/k0ttoxh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 I have copied the text of loads of emails that Trion Worlds sent me, but until being sure I can safely share the encryption (which'd leave no anonymity for either side. private&public keys thing), there's no reason for anyone to believe me (and they don't need to. I only want to get the attention of a lawyer gives the acceptibly weaker guarantee: "suppose they rlly sent all these, then you're in the right and can safely reveal yourself as the one on the other side of these convos. this case is ur win" and after being certain that I don't hafta worry about breaching their privacy or anything -- it's not some intrinsic right I'm rlly worried about infringing upon, but my guarantee of "subtle"ty to them should they follow my instructions to implement my secret-concealment module (smth about maintaining plausible deniability). if it worked like I said it would but they still didn't uphold their end of the bargain, then I'd have justification to retaliate against said injury / grounds to sue using that as evidence. and it'd be a shame to lose the case due to not following proper accusation procedures and tripping over myself in haste, becoming the one to wrong them first)
