DBG brings up good points in this argument. they have a strong case.

What's the good points, mods and emus are copywrite infringement and if they want they can shut it down?

Yeah, pretty much.

Difference with THJ comes down to 3 factors though:

a) They customized the content, building off Daybreak's existing IP to create a new game experience
b) They were wildly successful with 26k+ in their Discord
c) They took donations, which DBG claims are really for profit, revenue generation rather than donations for a "pet project"

Also why do legal documents always look like they were scanned onto the internet by a fax machine?

[zelld52]

"the defendants systematically modified Daybreak's copyrighted material to offer a competing service that relies entirely on Daybreak's intellectual property"

that's hard to argue against as THJ, or any emulated server.

[zelld52]

Besides to say "we weren't competing, our intention wasn't to compete"

But how do you prove that? Hope we all find out. I love REAL LawyerQuest

Haha Im sure the actual quotes are, "if DBG shuts down THJ i will never go back to live EQ"

Because people were saying that like crazy, and THJ was like, "dont say that, it doesnt help the case"

But users were like, "ill burn the damn place down!"

Trust me, you dont want those people to come back. They are a cancer on gaming in general.
