The main point against this is that the Developers of EQEmu do not want to draw Sony's attention to their project. Hosting Everquest files could possibly lead to that. I don't think it is so much the legalities of doing so as the unwanted attention that it could draw here. Like has been posted many times before....if Sony sued EQEmu or the people that run it, they do not have the finances to support paying lawyers to defend them in the lawsuit and Sony does. I'm pretty sure thats what it comes down to.
