It's no secret that Destiny 2 developer Bungie has been at war with cheaters as of late, taking some particularly egregious rule-breakers to court and suing them for millions of dollars. In these cases, defendants are usually groups of individuals or organizations that sell cheating software. This week, a judge once again ruled in Bungie's favor, but the lawsuit in question involved only a single cheater. Still, the fallout was immense, with the individual in question being ordered to pay Bungie $500,000 and banned from playing any Bungie games ever again.
First reported by TorrentFreak, the judgment may seem harsh at first, especially given the fact that, at the time the suit was first filed a year ago, the cheater in question was 17 years old. Known as Luca Leone, the defendant repeatedly used cheat software to get a leg up on the competition. But it didn't stop there--Leone also evaded multiple bans and eventually escalated to sending threats of bodily harm to Bungie employees, resulting in a restraining order.
The lawsuit claimed that Leone (like other cheaters Bungie's legal team has taken on in the past) had broken copyright law by using cheat software with a graphical overlay owned by Bungie, claiming that the use of "inject[ed] code" had created "unauthorized derivative work" that violates US copyright law. Additional fees were added for each account Leone created to evade a ban, and each unauthorized copy of the game he downloaded in the process. Ultimately, both parties agreed that Bungie is owed $300,000 in statutory damages for infringement of copyright, with an additional $200,00 owed for 100 acts of ban circumvention at $2,000 per ban evasion.
Additionally, Leone is banned from:

interacting with any cheat software that may affect Bungie-owned propertiesinteracting with Bungie-owned game assetsinteracting with any Bungie game whatsoeverharassing Bungie employees (directly or indirectly)harassing anyone who plays Bungie games (directly or indirectly)traveling within 1,000 feet of any Bungie officesknowingly traveling within 1,000 feet of any homes or apartments occupied by Bungie employees

Leone must also delete all social media accounts that have anything to do with Bungie, his attempts to cheat at Bungie games, or his crusade against Bungie employees.
While many Destiny players are pleased to see cheaters get their comeuppance, some are concerned about the legal precedent set by Bungie's recent copyright infringement cases. One Reddit user made the point that while their Fallout 76 UI mods aren't cheats, they do fit the description used in Bungie's case against Leone, stating that judgments like this could potentially see unsuspecting game modders facing similar charges.

《命运 2》作弊者被法律禁止再玩其他 Bungie 游戏

除了收到终止所有永久禁令的永久禁令外，作弊者还被勒令支付 50 万美元的赔偿金。


众所周知，《命运 2》开发商Bungie最近一直在与作弊者进行斗争，将一些特别恶劣的违规者告上法庭，并要求他们赔偿数百万美元。在这些案件中，被告通常是销售作弊软件的个人或组织团体。本周，法官再次做出了对邦吉有利的裁决，但该诉讼仅涉及一名作弊者。尽管如此，影响还是巨大的，相关人员被责令向 Bungie 支付 50 万美元，并禁止再玩任何 Bungie 游戏。

TorrentFreak最先报道，这一判决乍一看似乎很严厉，特别是考虑到一年前首次提起诉讼时，相关作弊者年仅 17 岁。被告名为卢卡·莱昂 (Luca Leone)，多次使用作弊软件以在竞争中取得优势。但事情并没有就此结束——莱昂内还逃避了多项禁令，并最终升级为向 Bungie 员工发出人身伤害威胁，从而导致了限制令。
该诉讼称，Leone（与 Bungie 法律团队过去处理过的其他作弊者一样）通过使用 Bungie 拥有的带有图形覆盖层的作弊软件违反了版权法，并声称使用“注入[编辑]代码”创造了“未经授权的衍生作品”违反了美国版权法。莱昂内为逃避禁令而创建的每个帐户以及他在此过程中下载的每个未经授权的游戏副本都会增加额外费用。最终，双方同意，Bungie 因侵犯版权而应承担 30 万美元的法定损害赔偿金，另外还需对 100 次规避禁令的行为额外赔偿 20 万美元，每次规避禁令的赔偿金为 2,000 美元。
此外，莱昂内还被禁止：

与任何可能影响 Bungie 拥有的财产的作弊软件交互

与 Bungie 拥有的游戏资产进行交互

与任何 Bungie 游戏互动骚扰 Bungie 员工（直接或间接）

骚扰任何玩 Bungie 游戏的人（直接或间接）

在任何 Bungie 办事处 1,000 英尺范围内旅行

故意在 Bungie 员工居住的任何住宅或公寓 1,000 英尺范围内旅行

莱昂内还必须删除所有与 Bungie、他在 Bungie 游戏中作弊的企图或他对 Bungie 员工的讨伐有关的社交媒体帐户。
虽然许多《命运》玩家很高兴看到作弊者得到应有的惩罚，但有些人担心 Bungie 最近的版权侵权案件所开创的法律先例。一位 Reddit 用户指出，虽然他们的《辐射 76》UI 模组不是作弊，但它们确实符合 Bungie 对 Leone 案件中的描述，并表示这样的判断可能会让毫无戒心的游戏模组制作者面临类似的指控。
