Maybe sometimes, but not always. For example, if it's a high-level player performing a Sleep-PK on a helpless n00b, that's pretty obvious because the level differences are clear. Not everyone poses an equal threat to everyone else and, in fact, the threat they pose is quantifiable. Besides, who knows how much other information is recorded in those logs? Every attack, every gesture, even every conversation could be saved -- it's all taking place inside a virtual world, after all. Unlike real life, there's no expectation of privacy anywhere you go; it's all taking place on a server.

Now again, that's sort of notwithstanding whether anyone actually would pursue charges or not. I'm just thinking about whether there would be grounds to do so.

Well, to be clear, I wasn't "asking", just speculating.

(And I don't think this topic is "derailing" the conversation, only that it goes beyond the scope of an episode thread, hence makes more sense in its own thread.)
