Personally I'm of the opinion that it's technically legal to download it through those means.
If you don't want someone to access your publicly accessible files, password protect them.
A simple login before a full patch could prevent people w/o an eqlive account to not get eq this way.
But personally I don't think they care. If 1 out of 20 people who download it decide to get an eqlive account... they're making money.
But, the opinion of the devs is what matters here. They prefer people to obtain EQ by purchasing it. Honestly at the prices you can get EQ plus the first 5 expansions for ( about $30 ) it's easier to purchase it.
