You arent even required to run eqw to connect. There is another way listed in the readme.
If you hit the everquest icon on your desktop, the patcher overwrites the eqhost file with the one for verant's servers, so that fixes the one and only file that was changed, which is nothing more than a text file, so I wouldnt personally consider it property of sony.
If you use eqw on a live eq server, that's your own peroggative, has nothing to do with the emulator, and I have no idea what sony's policy on that is these days.
