Epic sues two Fortnite cheaters 100th post!

This is my 100th post thank you guys for 60followers too!

Epic Games took on the touchy topic of Fortnite cheaters, saying that thousands had already been banned and warning of more to come. "We’re exploring every measure to ensure these cheaters are removed and stay removed from Fortnite Battle Royale and the Epic ecosystem," the studio said. And apparently it wasn't dicking around: Epic has filed two lawsuits, one against Brandon Broom and the other against Charles Vraspir, for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and other such bits of illegality, all as a result of cheating.

"This is a copyright infringement and breach of contract case in which the Defendant is infringing Epic’s copyrights by injecting unauthorized computer code into the copyright protected code of Epic’s popular Fortnite video game. In so doing, Defendant is creating unauthorized derivative works of Fortnite by modifying the game code and, thus, materially altering the game that the code creates and the experience of those who play it."

The suit claims that both Vraspir and Broom are part of AddictedCheats, Vraspir a "support/help person" and Broom a "moderator and member of the support staff." That elevates their case beyond simple cheating as well, as the site charges for access to its cheats. It also brings to mind Blizzard's lawsuit against Bossland, the maker of the Buddy Bot software, which ended with an $8.6 million win for Blizzard.
