Really, it's all on shaky ground, though.??I never like to cite the illegality of this [or any private RO] server - and I never have publicly in the three years I've been here (you can call it paranoia) - but we are [and then would be] using these non-profits to fund a server which - for all intents and purposes - is illegal to run.

However, I do believe Gravity does not have a post here in America outside of L5 Games.??As such they need to go through a lot of diplomatics to have anything done.??I'm not sure how Canada works with laws, but here in America we just don't care.??If we took an American p2p product and offered it up for free against the original developer's wishes we'd be prosecuted.??However, they're Korean so we don't care.??=p

It's the same thing with foreign countries reverse-engineering our products and then selling them for super cheap.??Done in America it would be illegal, but since it's in, say, Vietnam it is out of our jurisdiction.??

So, it's illegal but out of the jurisdiction of its country of origin.??When was the last time anyone heard of Gravity suing some kid for running his own private server anyway???It's been a few years since I've heard anything, personally.

Honestly, I think we're okay.??I'd just like you guys to have it in mind since I don't want Panda having every paycheck garnished for the rest of her life; and I doubt anyone else does as well.??
