Hello,
I don't know if I am posting this in the proper forum, but it's about what a business is legally allowed to do so this seems like it might fit here. If not, I apologize.
This is just to settle a debate on another forum. No laws have been broken that I'm aware of...
So I need assistance to find laws pertaining to whether a company would have the legal authority to access your computer and delete files from software that they own all rights to. Take for example, you buy a game from a large online gaming service's online store, you download the game, install it, and while playing said game you violate their terms of service somehow, and the service then bans you. Are they allowed to access your computer and delete the game?
The online service I'm referring to is international and the people I am discussing this with are from Germany and the Czech Republic, but if anyone is aware of a US Federal or California state law about this, it would be helpful.
Thank you in advance for any advice,
Axel Slingerland
