They'll put you in jail for accessing a public url structure in an unintended manner, though, under the CFAA. To me that's a bigger deal.
If you're referring to weev, this is not an accurate description of his case.

From where I live (not in the US) the US doesn't look particularly good as far as civil liberties go. Not that my country (Australia) is great either. We're just messed up in different ways.
None of the countries look particularly good, because we're on a backwards trend globally. But US still looks better than pretty much everybody else.
when i was a kid, i thought the stuff about freedom in rhetoric about america was silly and nebulous, but as i get older it seems more true. don't get me wrong, i hate the surveillance panopticon, drug war, and permanent security state as much as anyone else, but at least the government doesn't put you in jail for cheating at video games.

At least they don't have an official censorship regime like we have in Australia and NZ. We're still banning books here... primitive.

Well, only my Mirimir persona uses this VM, with this VPN chain and exit IP. And I have Firefox delete all cookies at exit. So they don't get much from me, no matter what.
Any advice on economical methods for persona-specific VM chains? E.g. 5 personas times $X/month for a commercial VPN adds up quickly, not to mention the inconsistent reliability/transparency of VPN providers.
Let's say that you have accounts with two providers, VPNA and VPNB. So you always connect first to a VPNA server, and then through that to a VPNB server. Given that each provider likely has many servers, there are likely hundreds of possible chains. Not all of them will work well, for whatever reasons, but enough to be useful.
The South Korean government's obessession with regulating video games is quite interesting.
This seems very unusual even considering how popular esports are over there. Cheating in traditional sports is not a crime as far as I know as the punishment is just getting kicked out and having your winnings taken back.
So does this make selling accounts illegal too? Isn't the workaround simply to not play on someone elses account, but to play on your own account and then sell it to that person later?
In SK your game account is usually tied to your national ID, no?

What level of cheating are we speaking here? Bribing the ref, match fixing, doping are all forms of cheating in sports and could be a punishable crime.
