From: Kitty Barnett There should be dozens of rulings out there already.
LL is a hosting company, I don't really see the difference between suing LL over lost inventory and suing an email provider for loosing your emails, or suing a web host. I know from other online games that they have strick rules on not replacing lost items. I remember one occasion people tried to sue OSI/EA over lost items due a bug. They lost the case big time.

From: Jayne Benedek Yep - i have used the small claims court in the UK to foce a refund from :-
BT - £100 plus costs
Double glazing firm - £5,000 plus costs
and three or four other firms over a 5 year period
- it the only way some companies learn...
Both UK entities, and therefore a doddle. Since SL operate under US law, not only are you dealing with a whole new set of consumer laws (AFAIK US consumer law doesn't offer anywhere near the same protection as UK law), but the cost of either attending a US court or paying for representation to do so for you will far outweigh the cost of action. |
