Rogean and Nilbog are Breaking the Law!

[Trexller]

uh am I really the only one who knows that Rogean owns EQEMU

its his email for the donations, he's an admin on eqemu

and nilbog is probably akkadius

[Naethyn]

GPL doesn't prevent anyone from modifying licensed code and offering it as whatever service it provides. They are breaking no license here.

[Jibartik]

yeah but what about my micky mouse pics.

[Swish]

I didn't read the first 10 pages but the servers are still up so gg OP.

Do you feel anything for the developers who made it possible for you to play here? Do you think their wishes (after spending years writing code for zero pay) should be respected? Or should P99 break the law to directly go against their wishes?

no one cares enough to sue p99

not sure why you're trying to take down a server you spent so much time writing stupid wiki articles on and finding bugs

no server means no wiki means loramin can have his life back

nilbog has loramin chained up in the basement and he has to earn food/toilet privileges by wiki update quotas

Ok, since the law doesn't seem to be swaying people, let's look at the logic behind it.

A bunch of programmers on the EQ Emulator project wrote a lot of code, to let people enjoy this great game of EverQuest. It was a lot of work. They said to the world "hey world, you can use all our work, for free! The only price is that you have to share what you add."

Rogean and Nilbog came along and said "thanks for all that free work, we'll totally use it on our project ... but fuck you, we're not sharing, we're just taking your code illegally".

Does that bother anyone else?

i agree with loramin, they have the intellectual property of literally thousands of people

[Tunabros]

who cares lol

I had fun on p99 and I probably will continue to have fun
