Yes but it might start to piss Sony off if this project gets a lot larger. Right now they may simply be weighing their potential loses from the project compared to legal action and deciding it would cost them more to shut it down.
I think there is a lot of potential to get new players who may have never even heard of EQ but just want a free MMO, old EQ players who don't know an emulator exists, etc. I do internet marketing/publishing for a living and it would be trivial for me to blast Project 1999 across the interwebs to millions of people in all the right places.
I'm also thinking I could put together a different "get started" guide that includes a torrent since that isn't allowed here and I'm not affiliated with the project and also include some new player information for people who have never played EQ. Essentially marketing it as the "greatest free MMO available."
