Yeah, I’m not sure. Who is the parent corporation that owns daybreak did they not own daybreak when that agreement was made I don’t know the whole relationship drama with this ridiculous IP.

Eq should be public domain.

DnD sues players. Eq sues players.

Wtf are we doing here?

American copyright laws were basically written by Disney, and as a result they're obscene.

In a rational world, everything would enter the public domain twenty years from the first copyright date. Twenty years is plenty of time for someone to make money off their creation.

The point of copyright is to protect artists’ interests. As American copyright laws completely fail to do this, and really harm artists, they can be ignored in any instance where the laws are unlikely or unable to be enforced.

Lol that's such an absurd argument

>11 pages
did that divorce attorney from the thread prior to this come to explain how IP law works?
only part I'm interested in.

Yeah, I'm not trying to change the american political and economic system, I don't agree with that statement at all.

But EQ is for nerds, and should be run by nerds, not some investment conglomerate.

There's a H(Y)UGE difference between "the gaming world" and the "real world" here in my argument.

I am sorry, to be clear I think jesus should come, slay all the people who don't understand my argument, and then we can live in peace without lawsuits and copywrite law all together.

Personally, P99 is the only server I like and as they are protected by their legal agreement I'm not too fussed about what happens to the other servers

Not being a doomer, but I bet the lawyers have taken a few good looks at the legal agreement. Anyway, if I were an emulator server not named p99 I'd be a little worried right now. Hell, even being a YouTuber who covers the server isn't safe atm. These guys just peaced out earlier today (https://www.thjdi.cc/) and they were probably the best eq database we've ever had.

If only there was someone who was technically able to do the exact work needed to make a succesful EQ server that people actually enjoy playing...

Many who play free now would migrate to a payed server to but it wouldnt likely be 100% of the subs gained.

Surely there is a compromise to be found somewhere.

Arrh nevermind. Corps need money but hate individuality.
Individuals hate corps but (many) have money.

Aint never happening.
To be clear, i think the hybrid 3 in 1 is a stupid idea but many here seem to like it. Seems odd a company whos sole aim is to make money would ignore something that clearly works.

it's sadly easier to do lay offs and cash grabs to make the books look good so you can sell the pile of zombie companies you have assembled and gutted to the next sucker for profit.

Ive been to this rodeo before when Eve Online was sold to Pearl Abyss
>there have been reports that Pearl Abyss is considering selling CCP Games

hopefully someday the same holding company owns both so i can get cross game login rewards and my lvl 120 necro can pilot my space ship in eve
