[ QUOTE ] Or do a company, that makes yearly revenues in the region of 900 million dollars, need to ban users on suspision alone in order to keep the site safe. Do they not trust their own software or security? [/ QUOTE ] Their revenues are irrelevant. I completely approve of banning on this basis. If you walk into a bank and tell them you're going to come back tomorrow to rob them, I doubt they'd wait until you did it before taking some pre-emptive action. [/ QUOTE ] Well that's not the issue here. I don't want to rob anyone. I wanted to find out how easy it would be for "average joe" to use a bot and get away with it. Sometimes we reporters believe that it's ok to "put things to the test" in order to write about it. Sometimes we are completely wrong, but other times it makes for better journalism. In denmark we recently had a story about how easy it is to buy a woman as a sexslave in the ex-soviet states. The journalist actually went to Romania and bought a woman from the mafia (releasing her again of course - he didn't import her to denmark or anything) so he could write about it. These stories, I find, are excellent as the reporter "put it to the test" to find out how it really is. Maybe in this case, I'm actually in the wrong, as I can feel from the responses you guys give.

A couple of friends of mine have told me that they are certain they are playing against bots, so I wanted to see how easy it would be to use a poker-bot on the micro-tables that would make money. [/ QUOTE ] Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Re: Party Poker getting desperate?

dude its a JOURNALISTIC EXPERIMENT [/ QUOTE ] I am not a lawyer, but... Being a "journalist" doesn't exempt one from the terms of Party Poker, just as it doesn't exempt one from the law. When a journalist does a story on, say, moving explosive material through ports to show how lax security is, it would behoove him to set it up with someone authorized to approve such an experiment first. Trying to explain after the fact, well, that's going to be hard to do. Investigative journalists who have broken laws have paid the price. An investigative journalist who breaks the terms and conditions of a company's service (or who publicly states he intends to break them) will have little recourse when the company makes that service unavailable to him. PartyPoker is publicly traded; they have an obligation to share holders - not to some journalism students notion of an interesting experiment.
