If I punch just enough people in the face it becomes OK?

It is a well known fact that a server collects certain information about users. However in this case said information was transmitted to a third party without users consent.

No. 1, the people receiving your fist will notice it, feel pain, embarrassment and a feeling of being weak and un-manned, so no, it doesn’t become ok.

No. 2, the point isn’t that it’s ok because it’s happened before, the point is if it was possible to do nasty things to your pc, (or snaffle important information or whatever else it is people are scared of happening with these evil TF2 screenshots), then it will have been done already a million times.

So what if it goes to a third party…it has to if it’s going to capture any cheaters doesn’t it. I bet no-one complains about ESL’s wire doing the same thing or when I played on Enemy Down and had to use some other software that took screenies and was bad, (although I’m reliably informed you could run that in a virtual machine and circumvent it anyway), can’t remember what that was called.

Invasion of privacy because a game takes a screenshot of itself and sends it to someone checking for cheaters? really?

I can’t believe all the stuff that’s being posted about this, it’s a nothing, nada, nil point of conspiracy. It’s a guy, doing his best to clean up the game we all love.

If that means he can have a look at screenshots of us playing, with our consent or without, I feel the end justifies the means…and the means aren’t even that bad anyway.

Please get over this and lets talk about something interesting and worthwhile instead.

You guys really got your tin foil hats on. Fuck sake

ESL has all the legal documents a user needs to agree to. Consent is needed before download. See http://www.esl.eu/eu/wire/download/get/?file=7504769

Doing this without a users consent is illegal (fact) and morally (IMHO) wrong.

All I am saying, do the proper “paperwork” (get the legal advice) and have users agree to it to make it all kosher.

Server operators and consequently hosters are in a legal gray area using this plugin in the meantime.

Nobody is going to sue, but I can imagine costly adhortatory letters.
