counts violation of the u2fifa

Commented.U.S. District judge Richard Seeborg dismissed all but one of the counts violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) brought against SCEA in February 2011, and said the plaintiffs had not sufficiently stated their claim. He let the CFAA claim, which argued SCEA "intentionally caused damage without authorization, to <b>FIFA 18 Coins</b> a protected computer" stand, finding the company had not "conclusively established that disabling a PS3 capability of the nature of the

 

OS feature is within the scope of the license agreement provisions on <b>FUT 18 Coins</b> which it relies."Seeborg added that Sony had not "shown that those plaintiffs who downloaded the Update thereby necessarily 'authorized' the removal of the feature within the meaning of the statute."
