Bungie's winning streak against Destiny 2 cheat sellers continues with the news it's now been awarded $6.7m USD in dama…
Bungie had accused Bansal of violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, of contributory copyright infringement, vicarious copyright infringement, trademark infringement, false designation of origin and unfair competition, violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, tortious interference with contractual relationship, and unjust enrichment.
The court, having determined it had jurisdiction over Bansal, has now sided with Bungie in all of its claims, aside from those relating to the Consumer Protection Act and unjust enrichment. To that end, it has ordered Bansal to pay a total of $6.7m in damages to Bungie, the bulk of which relates to"wilful" violations of the DMCA, an amount based on 2,790 downloads of Bansal's cheats at $2,000 in statutory damages per download.
Alongside the $5.58m for DMCA damages, the court's final figure includes $300K for violations of the Copyright Act, and $579,270 for violations of the Lanham Act, plus attorneys fees and other costs. However, given Bansal is yet to respond to Bungie's lawsuit, it's uncertain if the developer will be successful in securing its damages.Create accountWe'll send you an email whenever we publish an article on this topic.
