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"?

On the Scorp forums I founf a interesting topic that actually probed playing on emulated servers to be legal. That 14th statment in Sony's EULA is actually against the law.
Edit-> Hmm they moved it, was 14 last time i checked, it's really 9, oops. While I am at it here is a copy of that post I found

14. You will not create, use or provide any server emulator or other site where EverQuest may be played, and you will not post or distribute any utilities, emulators or other software tools related to EverQuest without the express written permission of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
DIRECTLY VIOLATES TITLE 15 OF UNITED STATES ANTITRUST LAW.

The 14th statement simply says that they aren't responsible for any damages their product or service may cause. There is nothing illegal about that. That paragraph prevents assholes from losing their job because they play too much and then go ahead and sue SOE because of that.
