Seems like your trying too hard to justify the locking of the thread. I think you miss the point of why the rule was probably (probably because I didn't make it) made in the first place. To keep this board out of legal trouble by not providing direct links to copyrighted material. That will get you angry letters from lawyers. Given following the instructions given on this board for using the emulator alone violate the licensing of the EQ EULA and that isn't censored why censor one and not the other ? If I could change a file in the directory that caused the download of patches it would be NO different then changing the eqhost.txt files according to the EULA. Legally your danger would come from the DMCA and I can take a pretty good guess that the emulator and this board are already in violation of that.
