There is a thread floating around with how the source code was ported from the original EQ. I'm sure Paul will dig it up.

But yes that's true. They didn't start from scratch but a good chunk is rebuilt to keep things as classic as possible because that code doesn't exist anymore.

Through personal experience in business.

Having legitimate legal grounds for filing a suit has nothing to do with the law.

If you cannot afford or do not have the stamina to defend yourself against legal action then compliance is the only path.

Small companies are shut down through legal extortion all the time. Legitimacy is irrelevant. Right and wrong have no place in the modern courtroom, especially as it relates to tech.

paulgiamatti there's so much incorrect information and assumptions in your posts that I don't know where to begin, the biggest of which is your interpretation of contractual law.

Just stop.

I'm not sure if sharing this software even falls under most definitions of piracy. Piracy means you are taking from someone - but I cannot purchase this software from the IP owner even if I wanted to.

If anything it falls under the "abandonware" definition as this client has been completely abandoned by the owner and is not available for purchase, no support available etc

I'd just call it redistributing intellectual property, and when done without consent it's illegal, despite being a victimless crime - and when only downloading and not redistributing, one that you'd have to be a masochist not to commit. I'd still call that piracy, just for simplicity's sake if anything. Maybe pseudo-piracy would suffice.
