To add, the argument of "P99 wouldn't want to pay to litigate" also goes both ways. I doubt the IP owners would want to pay to litigate to shut down servers that have like 1,250 people total...probably at least half of whom don't like TLPs or otherwise wouldn't switch to playing TLPs out of spite for them shutting P99 down. Realistically it would gain them nothing...especially if P99 could get lawyers to help them pro bono so the only one bleeding legal fees is the IP holder.
You don't think Daybreak did that math before agreeing to allow P99 to operate? Of course they did. The current IP holder probably has also.
