A federal court in Seattle has confirmed an arbitration ruling which requires cheat seller AimJunkies to pay $3.6m in damages to game developer Bungie. The cheat seller’s objections to the arbitration outcome were denied. While DMCA violations are resolved now, the copyright and trademark infringement claims will be tackled at trial.
