RMT was never allowed on p99. Account selling for plat was but never for straight cash.

Cash was used to buy the plat which in turn was used to purchase characters... so yes for all intents and purposes it was allowed.

They kind of opened their own version of Pandora's Box there... Most of the plat to fund account sales were RMT i'm sure.

So you're saying the staff allowed you to purchase plat directly with cash and then turn around and use that plat to buy accounts?

Yeah, you're wrong.

YOU are breaking copyright laws and the EULA of SOE. So what you are really doing is being straight up hypocrits, basically saying you can break the rules while others aren't allowed to break rules that you have basically made up for a game you don't own. I'll say it again, YOU DO NOT OWN.

What makes you qualified to have an opinion on Title 17 of the United States Code? Have you ever read it?
How might Section 106 apply to Project 99.

Please advise.

Sure, the factors for potential infringement are certainly there, but the question as to whether or not the potential infringement is actually actionable is far from settled. Also, Sony is well aware of P99, and Smedley has even commented on it. They've obviously not pursued it, and there's a strong chance they've reached an understanding for P99 to peacefully exist with Sony's implied consent.

Again, the justifications for why RMT is disallowed here are largely irrelevant. If you want to connect to their server, don't do it.

Sony has failed to enforce their copyright against P99 for the last 3 years. Rogean and Nilbog have continued to work on the project and incur additional expenses. 17 USC Section 106 aside, so long as P99 doesn't expand their operations significantly, and continues to crack down on RMT, it would not surprise me if suit against P99 is inactionable on the basis of waiver and laches.

I in no way want p99 to go away, or get in trouble, It's a great policy. I just thinks it's hypocritical is all.
