[Consultation] Drafting a cease-sale notification regarding an illegal nuclear program sales platform.

Law firm Veat provided legal advice regarding the response to illegal hacks based on the request of game development company A’s game use interference.

Game development company A discovered that illegal hack programs related to its game service had been uploaded to overseas open-market platforms and requested Law firm Veat for legal response.

Law firm Veat reviewed the operating regulations of the open-market platform and related Korean laws and noted that illegal hack program sale postings are considered prohibited goods under the platform’s operating regulations, corresponding to acts punishable under Korean laws and drafted a certified letter requesting the deletion of postings and seller information.

Illegal hack programs disrupt the game’s original system, diminish the interest of other normal users, and cause overload to the game server, which is against the normal operation and protection of users, and therefore it is a fatal hindrance in game operation. The Seoul High Court recognized this as well (Case No. 2009na 21227).

Law firm Veat, based on extensive legal advice experience with numerous game companies, is helping game companies operate their games smoothly by responding to illegal hack programs.

If you need legal advice regarding responses to illegal hack programs or legal advice during the game operation process, please feel free to contact Law firm Veat at any time.

Thank you.
