Okay jim, I really don't want to make this a rant / flame thread. But I have to say, you sound like a high schooler who took one class of philosophy and thinks you're the top dog now.
What you are doing, is ignoring the issue at hand by presenting a different issue. This is a fallacy. To be fancy, some might even say it begs the question, as breaking an EULA of EQLive =/= breaking an EULA of P1999.
You are doing multiple things wrong;
1. You are ignoring the issue at hand;
We don't care we are "cheating Sony out of their money", because we probably aren't (due to the fact that we want a p1999 experience and NOT a live experience). We care about whether or not we are being treated equally. You talking about live / Sony / we are all illegal is a complete diversion from the issue.
For example, "OMG WAR IS BAD GUYS!" And you respond with, "Yea, but are human real? Do we really exist? War is okay, because we don't even exist guys!"
That is stupid. You are stupid.
2. You imply that because we break one rule, all rules must be null and void;
That's even more ridiculous. So since we are cheating Sony of their EULA, we might as well throw caution to the wind about all rules? Lulz I died here. Okay, so I committed robbery the other night, and I knew I was gonna get caught. At this point, I might as well go around murdering people AMIRITE? Look at the different situations of each "law" being broken.
Sony is neither here nor there, since this is p1999 not EQlive. If Sony has an issue with p1999, its Sony's job to act on it, not ours. If we have an issue with P1999's players, its our jobs to act on it.
3. And finally, I'll address your actual claim.

YOU have not addressed the point that Sony has a right to control its intellectual property (Everquest) and we're violating their wishes (they make it pretty clear in their EULA they don't want people using Emulators). Address that, and I'll consider addressing the idea of Third Party programs.

Sony *does* have a right to control its intellectual property. And yes, we MAY very well be violating their wishes. But guess what? Their wishes affect *all* of us whether or not we care. Their decision is almost completely irrelevant to us in the sense that it's not a democracy, we can't choose whether or not to stop it. Further more it affects everyone here *EQUALLY*.
So Sony might as well be an entity like the Emperor of Everquest (including P1999) while this is only ONE of the many towns. If Sony decides to squash our town, then we all lose. Then so be it. But during that time where we are all a part of this community, we will do whatever we can to make it a place that we can all enjoy. If this includes pointless witchhunts or asking for harder punishments for the cheaters, then it's within our right to do so. We aren't forcing anyone to do it, merely asking.
In closing, please learn to argue because you're very bad at it, not playing devil's advocate whatsoever etc~
