I'm going to assume from your statements directed at me that you didn't bother to read the wiki article. So, to recap, it's against the rules to use the eqemulator services to ask for the EQ client files, to ask for any assistance in locating such files from anywhere except official Sony distribution channels. You can also be banned for using the eqemulator services to offer such files, or using them to provide assistance in obtaining them from anywhere except official Sony distribution channels. Once again, independently and regardless of whether any copyright law is valid and enforceable, the LOCAL rule I just described is right now in full force until specifically told otherwise. Bear in mind that whether any legal claim over this issue would hold up in court is moot, because any claim would not make it that far. The emu doesn't have the money to retain OJ-quality lawyers thru 10 rounds of appeals which is what would be necessary to get that far.
I'll take a break from the rulebook just give you my advice in general: this community has, from the get-go, expected a minimum standard from anyone seeking help with server setup. As harsh as it may sound, most of this community holds a Darwinesque set of beliefs when it comes to would-be serverops. They're quite willing to help those that show an obvious attempt to help themselves. We don't want to expend our limited support time on those that want instant-working-emu on a silver platter, use up volunteer support time, then the second it's working, disappear back onto their private LAN leaving nothing to contribute to the community that just got them where they are. Now that you know that, you can make a decision on whether you want to continue to bother with this project or not. If so, best of luck to you. If not, hope life treats you well.
Peace.
