In the light of the Blizzard/Glider dance, this seems more direct, and would only happen in China: Gold farmers were arrested and charged with “unfair revenue distribution”. More info at PlayNoEvil:
Turn up the Irony Meter to 11. After all, with all of the complaints in the US about gold farming, it takes the Chinese to stand up and do something about it.
Yep, police in China has arrested 2 men for running a World of Warcraft gold farming operation and charged them with “unfair revenue distribution” (CHINESE READER ALERT - what in the world is “unfair revenue distribution”?).
The two men ran the operation for 7 months and earned 1.4 Million RMB (just over US$200,000). They had 20 computers and 20 employees (no shifts, I guess) and were based in Chengdu’s Shuangliu county. The men were targeting The9‘s China-based World of Warcraft operation… I’m not sure if this makes their revenue more impressive or not.

While this is a more straight-forward approach to handling “unwanted” activities, I’m pretty glad that the US have a slightly more complex judicial system…
You neo-con like people that think the ends justifies the means are absolute idiots. If you were in a position of power all basic freedoms would be stripped away for the "greater good". You have no sense of justice: justice is more than punishment. Justice is freedom and a fair due process in the enforcement of the law.
"Hang ‘em high and let their feet dangle." OVER A WOW GOLD OPERATION!!! Mindblowing.
