Erotica1 is communicating, ingame, through means of chat functions and bulletin boards that he provides a service OUTSIDE of the game, namely the "Bonus Room".
What that "Bonus Room" has turned out to be, as evidenced by the recording, is a 2hr psychological torture, coerced by the players seized assets and leveraged against the false promise of its return if the person completes the humiliating, degrading and arbitrary demands issued to him by the persons located in this out of game environment, while simultaneously harassing, ridiculing and insulting him.
The conduct the victims are subjected to in this OUT OF GAME environment....
Seized Assets? Torture? Oh please. The assets were given willingly and Sohkar was taken for a ride like the fool we was. VoIP is hardly an out of game environment, seeing as how EVE has its own voice communication features. Are you saying that if the interaction took place over EVE Voice then it would be okay? |

Oh, I don't think this is going to be a problem to be perfectly honest, Erotica1 may have the courage of his convictions now, but once the tank of his faceless and nameless anonymity is stripped away by the CSM electoral process, he has nothing to hide behind. Ergo, he will pull out of the election at the eleventh hour. Probably citing "cyber-bullying" as his justification... Oh the irony, the irony. |

Indeed. It violates nearly every US wiretap statute. Not if you say you consent to being recorded and are aware that the recording may be posted to social media sites. This happens in... every... Bonus Round. Consent is only valid if its given freely and without coercion. Since the method is to remove a persons virtual property and using that as a means of obtaining the consent that consent is not given freely and so its voided.
Except that would only be valid if they said "The Bonus Round can only proceed if you consent to being recorded." There have been unrecorded Bonus Rounds wherein the client did not consent to being recorded. The contracts ("virtual property") is only obtained after the client consents to being recorded. So really, again, it doesn't hold up.
Also I really doubt "virtual property" would really hold up in court, depending on the judge. In most cases: Probably not.

Coming out against this in the EVE community is probably more difficult than supporting it. I don't think it makes him an ass at all.
It's a two hour recording of someone with a speech impediment being manipulated and humiliated. Most people will feel some sort of moral indignation to it and that does say a lot in view of the former.
Which is the base of this long, tedious controversy. |

This is nothing to do with their scamming. It is to do with their RL harassment & abuse of a PERSON. Note the key point here, they were not doing actions to someones in game avatar. They were directly abusing a PERSON. Using blackmail in order to keep them there to be abused. The fact the blackmail in this case happened to be digital goods does not excuse that type of behaviour.
Yet Publicly hazing a guy at Fan Fest, and telling him to kill himself doesn't qualify as that?
I mean if you are going to call a spade a spade, lets get Mittani perma banned if we are going to jump on a moral high horse, lets rehash the fact that the head of the CSM told a kid to kill himself in a live setting, broadcast globally on the internet.
But hey its cool he was drunk and apologized right.
If Erotica 1 is to be banned then the Mittani should be right behind him. Or in front of him given the claer difference in severity of the harassment.

I think banning Erotica1 and those like him could be made on similar grounds as the reason for banning botters.
Botters are banned because of the harm they do to the game, specifically the in game economy. The rules and lines are way more clear here though.
Using EVE to source victims for bullying could also be banned for the harm it does to the game. Both the long term financial harm, from people not playing due to EVE's reputations and just to the harm to the community as a whole, morale spirit. etc.
Malcanis is right that these lines would be hard to define, but I don't think that means CCP shouldn't try to find them.
I think some of those lines could revolve around the publishing and sharing of the events. There are probably legal grounds for this in many places. Invasion of privacy, cyber-bullying, extortion, stuff like that.
And great now I have to go really read the EULA and TOS to be able to argue with people who think this behavior should be allowed to continue. |

Sure there is, but it's the measure of what's too far that isn't so clearly determined.
That's been an aspect of the discussion from the start of the thread and it generally comes back to what each of us individually decide is the line. Unfortunately that line isn't consistent between us all.

There is so much legally wrong with what Erotica1 is doing that imo it could potentially be prosecuted as any number of crimes.
Some of you seem to have forgotten where the difference between the game and reality is.
You can't go around scamming people IRL, as you do in EVE. Which is exactly what this "Bonus Room" is. There is a massive set of complex systems that you can't even begin to imagine without years of legal studies which prevent you, me and everyone else from doing so.
Its a huge legal liability for CCP too, because who knows what could potentially culminate out of this degree of OUT OF GAME abuse of other players, including someone getting physically hurt or at worst some nut showing up to a Fanfest with a home-made pipebomb.

Does this mean I can get my bitcoins back??? I have no idea about your bitcoins. There are exceptions to consent and coercion. Banks requiring you to sign a contract which gives them right to penalize you with late fee's or otherwise not allowing you to open an account I guess is coercion. Even though you don't agree with the late fee's being unable to open an account, which is a requirement to live coerces you into signing the agreement for example.
But I don't think that applies to the consent to publish embarrassing and humiliating material on a public forum or you lose all your stuff.
