But at the same time, obviously rich people can't just sue random people into oblivion [You must be logged in to view images.

Assuming the client was legally obtained I don't see how players here violate any copyright. They could theoretically be violating the EULA, however, which would only have consequences able to be meted out on their own servers. So that could be consequential for those players here who still play on dabyreak's servers.
As far as that former lawsuit where "facts" can't be copyrighted, I have some serious doubts about that reading of it. You'd never have to buy another math textbook again at a university, for instance. people who provide testing/test prep material would just blatantly steal everything from everyone else.
I suspect what that lawsuit actual detailed was related to things that are
purely factual. This is why people can freely write biographies of other peoples' lives without fear of being sued. However, I can't just copy someone else's biography word for word and go out and sell it.
