Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com Bungie, the studio owned by Sony, the developer of Destiny 2, filed a lawsuit in federal court last year against Phoenix Digital, the parent company of plug-in manufacturer AimJunkies, alleging copyright infringement by Destiny 2 plug-ins manufactured and sold by AimJunkies.

The copyright-infringing portion of the lawsuit was later dismissed by a Seattle judge in May, though Bungie was allowed to file a new complaint. Bungie has yet to complete its legal action against AimJunkies, which has filed a counterclaim claiming Bungie hacked into key member James May's personal computer, conducted "multiple" unauthorized searches of all documents over a two-year period in an attempt to establish an evidentiary basis for its original lawsuit, and circumvented Phoenix Digital's own terms of service by reverse-engineering the cheating software.

Bungie's current license agreement allows the company to access certain files on players 'computers for anti-cheating purposes. However, the agreement signed by May at the end of 2019 did not include that license. The counterclaim claimed that the developer had no right to unwittingly access the parties 'documents.

CTOnews.com understands that AimJunkies, in its counterclaim, is seeking damages from James May and Phoenix Digital, as well as destruction of any evidence Bungie obtained by accessing May's computer and reverse engineering the purchased AimJunkies software.
