CoD DoS Arrest

BBC News has the story of a 17 year-old in the U.K. who was arrested for allegedly using a booter program on a Call of Duty server to both boost his own score and to deny others access to the game. The report says Activision reported this issue to the authorities in September, and a Manchester youth is now in police custody for the denial of service under the Computer Misuse Act. "Programs marketed in order to disrupt the online infrastructure not only affect individual players but have commercial and reputational consequences for the companies concerned," said Detective Inspector Paul Hoare, who suggests this is a gateway sort of offense. "These games attract both children and young people to the online environment and this type of crime can often be the precursor to further offending in more traditional areas of online crime."

This news pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with this world, people get taken into custody for committing civil offenses now... and the state transfers civil minor offenses into criminal offenses for no reason whatsoever.

These games attract both children and young people

COD is rated M+

I agree. As much as I dislike cheaters, this is ridiculous.
