Sellers of Destiny 2 Cheat Codes Are Found Guilty of Copyright Infringement for the First Time

A federal court in Seattle has ruled that the sale of cheats for Destiny 2 is an infringement of Bungie’s copyright. This is the first time that game cheat sellers have been found guilty of copyright infringement. This was reported by VGC.

The court found the AimJunkies website, the Phoenix Digital Group website operator, and developer James May liable for copyright infringement. They are obliged to pay Bungie $63,210.

The company and the website were forced to pay a fine of $4.3 million.
