Everyone here would've done the same shit THJ did. Akka writing dear John letters when he was hosting the server is laughable. Don't even get me into the garbage servers this guy put together(In 18 years BTW lol).

Except they wouldn't. This is common sense not to profit off other IP's unless you're specifically donating for keeping the server up. Even in the mod making community for other games whether its OG Doom, Half-Life or Skyrim ect, there's a common held tradition to always credit or obtain consent to utilize another modders assets whether its code or art if you plan to publish it on major sites, even if there is no financial incentive. And if by chance there is financial incentive like forming a team to build a game on an open sourced engine, you best make sure as shit that none of your co-developers are adding a sliver of code or any other form of asset that are copyrighted material (see: stolen) from another game, unless said assets are as well public domain (EQ1 is filled to the brim with public domain sound effects for example)
