How about donating some of the money to absolutepokercheats.com, it would be nice to see Absolute paying for the site, instead of Josem. IMO

While that is kind, that is not necessary.

It is hosted for free by Google; the domain registration costs $10/annum. There are no other costs involved in that.

Re: AP infinity plus one - New AP Statement
 

There could have been something in the original EULA (like, 'if something ever goes wrong, and you accept a refund, it will be full and final settlement...') but I couldn't see anything like that. Not sure it would be legal anyway - you generally can't sign away your rights.

Could depend on what they said in any email that accompanies a refund. Otherwise... can't see a problem. Without that declaration *somewhere*, it ain't full and final settlement. Damages, time, inconvenience, more damages - plenty for AP to think about yet.

In your shoes, refundees - I'd ask a lawyer.

Well, if I ever get my $1 back from Popcorngate, I'd be happy to pitch in for a month. LOL

I think that we should focus on being careful about things that AP have actually done, rather than creating fictitious EULAs, emails and other documents out of thin air.

You really should stop making stuff up.

I can understand how some people don't like Ike, but this is just silly.


He received money; He was not asked to agree to anything - and somehow he's accused of being ignorant for sharing that?

wtf?

Ignorant to the law, or legal theory.

A signed release is not always necessary in these cases. It may be implied.

AP notified players that they would receive a refund as consideration for AP violating their "fair play" policy.

Accepting the refund may be considered a binding agreement to indemnify Absolute from any future legal action.

Exchange the term "refund" for "settlement" and it should make more sense.

Alright, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Do you recommend they return the money?

Stubbornness, like swongs, is one thing, but this is a new low.

There is no court on earth that would construe this situation as you describe.

It is simply not credible to claim that giving someone money (without conditions, ffs!) is somehow going to limit the recipient's legal options down the track.

Using the word "may" does not change the fact that you are being stupid in this situation.
