Legal repercussions?

I saw the thread about legal action being taken against other botting websites. But I'm wondering if individual botters are at risk at all? Or would scripters be at risk at all, like if a scripter sold a private script?

Thanks :)

As far as i know, the user/player has nothing to worry about,

Scripter's dont normally develop the client so they should be fine aswell

Its normally just the people who own and release the "Client Software"

Color doesn't break any legal laws :)

I doubt Jagex would waste time suing macro users individually, plus they have no ground to sue them on. Breaking a TOS is not illegal. As for sellers, Jagex would probably spend their time taking out the botting clents themselves, as it would cut the problem at the root so to speak.

Okay. I don't bot RS but I think most companies will have the same MO.

I doubt the bot itself could have legal issues, but the site might, due to the Black Market, where some people make profit off selling gold/services.
