Minecraft Curbs P2P Servers - Should Garry's Mod Follow? - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=Cyberuben;45113116]Same here, however, PayPal has a limit, where a user can not earn more than a certain amount of money (€2200 EUR in one year). Since I was 17 at the time, I'd get my account blocked if I sent them my personal details. Only option would be having a legitimate business. Even then, you need someone who's over the age of 18 to represent the business, meaning, I was not allowed to own the PayPal account. My dad registered an account with his name, using Casual Bananas as the "business" he worked for. Since my dad was my legal representative (or however you should put it), he is the person that has to "sign" things for me, so, creating a PayPal account was also within his reach. PayPal blocked the PayPal account for almost a full month for the reason being they thought it was a fake account since my previous account got blocked for not meeting their regulations. After €100 worth of calls to PayPal (yes, that much), I finally got them to unblock my account, after I explained my story to 7 different people, called for hours, waited for hours, convinced plenty of people I had a legitimate company and my dad owned the account, not me. The last person I spoke to was "assigned to me" and when I'd call PayPal, I could ask for him, they'd push my call through and he is the person that talked to the other departments to get my PayPal account unblocked. Community almost went down because of it, luckily Limestone was nice enough to not cancel our servers and let us fight this out with PayPal. Same here in the Netherlands. I have a business account and I have a "1-man company" as it'd be called, no idea what the term would be in English. [B]I think it's self employed, but I bet there's a more formal term for it.[/B][/QUOTE] I think what you might be looking for is a sole trader?

[QUOTE=Adzter;45113681]I think what you might be looking for is a sole trader?[/QUOTE] Which is self employed in the UK. So he was right, but I guess Sole Trade would be a better translation rather than a legal term. My PayPal account is STILL in my mothers name as I made it 11 years ago when I was 17 to pay for a game. I made my own account a couple years ago and moved all my subscriptions to it, due to the mass amount of sales instantly they froze my account, kept around £2k for 9 months without paying interest and cancelled all the subscriptions (probably costing me £1-5k) and now I'm blacklisted from having a PayPal account. All because 1 person filed 4 chargebacks in the week of it being opened. 1 single person, out of 87 unique sales that week... I fucking hate PayPal :(

It'll be an open source project, you willing to help? I am not going to try to make money of it in any way. If you're interested, contact me via Steam or PM.

I'm fairly lazy and stupid so might not help, but I might who knows.

I think there needs to be a crackdown on servers selling stolen code addons and addons they didnt create as donator features.
