The legality of the issue is irrelevant. If Sony wanted to they could simply file the legal suits against project1999 and, whatever legal argument we use, they would shut us down.

I don't think that the legality is irrelevant. Maybe for now Project 1999 is just to small a fish to let them take action. But once it gets bigger (which is to be expected due to the publicity gained), things might look totally different. Just remember what they did to Winter's Roar, which was running for about 2 years before the lawyers came.
The article is very good, because it shows the different viewpoints from the Project 1999 guys, Smed and a lawyer.
The only thing that I disagree is that the author was explaining the players' interest in the server by "nostalgia" only. But Project 1999 shows that a lot of old DIKU-features, no longer present in most games today, are still attracting a large player base, stuff like: very limited fast travel, death penalty, corpse runs, aggressive mobs chasing you through the whole zone, severe faction differences, few xp by quests, ... etc.
