Are Bungie breaking the law?
[quote] it is a criminal offence for corporates to fail to prevent tax evasion or the facilitation of tax evasion on their watch[/quote]
So paid carries Bungie, please let us know what action you are taking to prevent tax evasion by UK players using your forums and your products to make financial gain through paid for carries?
Remember, in the UK ignorance is no defense.
What about the potential of benefit fraud? People claiming unemployment benefit but making money using Bungie's property and advertising their services on Bungie's forum?
EDIT: Be aware I am asking a question not stating a fact, hence the use of a ?. There are already a lot of Bungie Brown Nosers getting their panties in a twist over this and doing the usual failing to read everything and being deliberately obtuse.

Bungie does not receive any monetary gains from trials carries and the transfer of money occurs on a third party site. In the us they would not be held responsible for any unpaid taxes on monetary gains made by any other party. The sites that offer the paid carry services are more than likely paying taxes on the money they make but the individuals that do it independently are probably not. In most cases, they are probably operating completely legal as well being that the amount of money they gain would not be enough to be considered an "income". That's why I could sell you a couch from my home and not worry about going to jail for tax evasion.
