Thus the proper arguement was the program you purchased rights to use on any server you wish to use it on. Therefore back to my origional question if it is illegal to run one server with the everquest engine why wouldn't it be illegal to run another.
Erm. No. You do OWN the client, under a single-user license, without the permissions to redistribute it.

No, you do not "own" the client. "Owning" constitutes that you own the copyright to the client, which you certainly do not. The copyright owner (SOE) grants you the revokable license to use the client based on the EULA presented at installation. If you "owned" your copy, then you would be permitted to copy and resell that same client as you would have full copyright over the materials contained therein.

Suppose I buy a magazine in a store. I now own that magazine. The magazine company nor can the store take it from me now unless I willingly let them have it or sell it. I do not, however, have permission to redistribute the articles freely to the world.

I would say that you own the paper the magazine is printed on, but that you do not own the content thats printed on it. Much in the same way when you buy a game, you own the physical CD but do not own the software thats on it.

Just my opinion. I'm no laywer.

That's basically how it works, yes, and is pretty much completely fair.
