That's really too bad... Looks like it might be a trend. Hopefully some of the servers can stay under Sony's radar... good luck Matt......

Am I right in thinking that it's only the servers with various kinds of "patchers" who are getting these letters so far? If so the rules here are vindicated. |

Patchers have nothing to do with it. Sony owns the copyright, and they have all the money. They can and will do whatever they want. I just hope they only pick on the servers and not the emulator itself.

All the lawyers in the world won't change what the law is. If Sony gets a reputation of losing cases in court just because they want to spend their mass amount of money to flex their might, they'll lose faction with stockholders and that wont be good.

These forums have over 60,000 registered users (i'm not kidding). If even 10% of those users donated $10 to a "hire a lawyer to show SOE who's boss" fund, that'd bring in $60,000... that should be enough to get a decent lawyer 
And that's if the average donation is $10. Just think how much that would bring in if people donated an amount around what it costs to buy a new PC game ($50 or more). Can you say, "over a quarter of a million dollars"?

And along those lines, if someone can actually organize something like that, I'd gladly donate at least $50 to the project, maybe more. After all the time I've spent playing with it, I'd say that would be pretty reasonable.

60,000 registered users
maybe 60 of them are adults
the rest of the 60,000 registered users are Kids and are broke..why do you think they play Freeservers.
you may get some money from the dedicated people but I doubt you will get anywhere near the funds they have.
