Ex-Lover Deletes MMOG Character 132
Ant writes "Voodoo Extreme reports on the story of a jilted Japanese girlfriend who logged onto her ex-lover's Lineage account with his username and password. Once there, she deleted his game data including all the items, weapons and clothes he had collected. Although the boyfriend did not suffer financially he reported the misuse of his account to the police. Police then reported the woman of Toyama Prefecture, to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutors Office accusing her of violating a law banning illegal access to someone else's online accounts." Considering the big business that Lineage represents, it doesn't surprise me that the police took it seriously.

How is this different from an ex-girlfriend abusing your stuff after a bad breakup:
* Throwing your laptop out a window
* Spraypainting your monitor
* Keying/spraypainting/breaking windows on your car
* Dumping bleach into your salt water aquarium
* Boiling your daughters pet rabbit on the stove
* Coming at you with a butcher knife
I mean, we've all been there, this is normal stuff really. Nothing to see here...
