And to be honest I don't know why he's scared to make a new google account. Yeah sure they track your IP address and whatnot but they certainly wont do anything about it. They wont ban an entire household, that's just bullshit.

I don't know why he thought getting suspended wasn't a big deal because he was "innocent". That's also a fairly stupid idea as well.

Wait.. so Google's terms state that any new accounts will be terminated.. but you're saying he should just go ahead and violate that term of Google's policies as well?

And assuming that Google won't carry out the threat is a poor way to run a business.. at any time, Google may decide any earnings he's made will be forfeited.

Well he has already violated the terms, might as well keep going - he has very little left to lose.

In addition to carefully making Google's case for them, he then descended into paranoia about Google's tracking. For someone supposedly so experienced in software development, he has some weird ideas about what's right and what's wrong.

If you are trying to monetize, you have likely given Google your real name and address and bank account information, and would need to do the same thing for your new account. Submitting fraudulent information in order to get money could cross you into serious trouble with the IRS or the law.

If you are making a business out of this then creating a new business entity shouldn't be that difficult.

If anyone has a friend spot available I would love to learn how to create games with this course.

thechinpokoman@hotmail.com is my email. If everything works out I might even work with someone on a small project too, I'm an artist in my spare time and must admit my game programming skills aren't very good.

Oh, I should mention I've lurked HN for quite a few years, I just never had a reason to sign up until now!
