Anyone here that has access to wolfpaw.com? I can't access their website at all.

I would of needed their legal/licence agreement that you accept when you create an account there.

I'd need to know who the legal owner of an account is. If it's the one who pays the bills and whose name is in the billing information or the one who has the master password to the account.

Since their website is down I don't know if they have a forum and if it's up - and if it's up what addy and whatnot. So I can't ask questions there. Nor do I have any contact information to them.

Thanks.

An educated guess would be the one who applied/signed up (and thus agreed to the terms). A problem with having 'the master password' as the owner opens things up to abuse from a cracker who would technically own the account after breaking the password.

Well we had a slight problem with that. We had a change in the immortal staff and our former head IMP resigned from his position, gave away the account information to us other imps and put one of the guys on the billing information. So we believed that he had transferred all of it to us. And everything was fine and dandy.

Later tho it, just the other day now, it was noticed that the other guy had kept the master password (we had changed the shell password), and he used that to get the system admin of wolfpaw to retreive the account-data and send it to him. Meaning the entire mud and whatnots. So he basically stole the mud right from underneath us. We don't know what he's going to do with it. But anyway, I was curious if all it takes to have "legal right" to the information/data stored on the account is to have the master password.

Since it wasn't us who signed/applied for the account initially, we don't have that information at the time. This is why I wanted to see if it in fact is enough to just have the master password to have the legal rights to the account.
