/me resists the urge to CnP the relevant slashdot posts.
Except that Sony's real grudge lies with emulation stealing customers away from EQlive, and not so much that as a minor nusance becoming a major problem later on... putting out the burning leaves before they become a raging forrest fire. This is evident in their unsubtle attempts to outpace live compatibility with EQemu.
It's a classic example of a greedy buncha suits exercising their non-existant right to profit, and protecting their interests. Were it up to sony... they would shut down Blizzard, Mythic, and NCSoft through cicuit court action (stomping out competition). Let's be glad it isn't up to them.
And affirming what ciscyouc said, it's also a matter of who's willing to pay for expensive legal fees in order to prove who's within their legal rights.

It really is time to end the debate about legality. The emu's are illegal, period. It doesn't matter if you don't charge, don't share code, don't use the client, et cetera. I would have thought WR's fun would at least open the eyes of some of the stubborn.
And by the way, just about every country in the world is involved with the international copywright laws that apply...I know of a couple exceptions, there are likely a few more.
Just because you buy a magazine doesn't mean you get to use the content without permission.
Other than that, there are some fun things going on...and I hope developers continue to enjoy themselves, and that gamers continue to check out their work.

This is right about as retarded as saying that EQEmu or WR is legal. ![](http://emote.brainwashing.us/laugh.gif)

Its more of who will listen when they get a cease and desist and when to ignore it ![Smile](http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif) Sony's threats are just simple cease and desists through email, if they really wanted to take the effort they would just have someone give you the letter of notice to show up in court next week :P

Unethical to put your personal information in a domain name? No nowadays it is just asking for spam and junk mail honestly. :P
