Talking about screenshots: how long are they stored? And where?

Yes, it is true that there was a big incident about what Jonny put in the program. Jonny left and the awful feature has been removed. What happened is regrettable, but we've moved on from that.
If you don't like the fact that Assist can take screenshots, then don't use it. That's why the ToU is there, to let you know.

The problem is

- TOS does not stand above the law to get spied on, something Assist is doing.
- The next one is that the creators of Assist are using an illegal copy of Americas Army which is also not allowed by the law.

What exactly do you mean by an illegal copy of Americas Army? We do not have access to the source code, thus cannot change the actual game. The only thing questionable is redistribution, which could easily be solved if the creators of AA2 wanted to stop us. Again, they know about Assist.
I'd also like that some programs such as web browsers keep much more intrusive and private data than a PC screenshot.

Is AA Assist using an illegal copy of Americas Army in any way?
Yes.

More important is that they spy on users machines - that is far more serious violation of law. And no TOS can help about it. TOSes are not above law.
Correct.

The creators of America's Army know about our project and have not contacted us about it being a problem.
The creators he means programmers, they are not bothered. But the game belongs to the US government, and boy, I wouldn't go against them. Thin ice if you ask me.

Talking about screenshots: how long are they stored? And where?
Good question Bollie.

Please take screenshots of the TOS with time and date, log the admin names and this website IP Address if we need to take any further steps.

The admins just sh*t their pants now :D
Eliz: Nonono I am not admin of Assist. Killaman is.
Killaman: Nonono I also am not admin. Encyclopedia (Bart) is.
Bart: Nonono, I am only here to give advice. You know, I am a beta tester

What data can be more intrusive than screenshots of desktop at any random time?

@Merlin

H?, let this be clear: i appreciate the work they do to keep AA alive.
I do not appreciate to be spied on and i believe they do not need to spy on us.

The only time Assist can take a screenshot is when Assist is running. So it's not any random time. The feature is so that we can see what the user is seeing when playing.
