Re: MapleStory

We're taking the stance that private servers aren't legal, so, no. Don't link it.

"taking the stance"?

They're just as legal as .torrent files of copyrighted material.

Which is not at all.

ps tell me the url so I can send them emails claiming to be from Nexon's counsel telling, them to shut down immediately or face legal action in the form of a suit for 500,000$.

Re: MapleStory

Squeek i will not link the private server i play on but im gonna link and old server that is "Shut Down" and no longer working. Just shows a page of them saying what they are doing with the lawsuit. http://www.odinms.de/. Sucks what they are going through and i really wonder if it is real... they posted the link of the document but it was all in like german lol.

only because stretchy decided to remove that link am i agreeing with this

participating in a private server will do nothing to you individually. it's the server that will take the heat if nexon ever decides to sue. so really the only posts i should be watching for are people who tell you how to host your own.

Re: MapleStory

Hit 100. Would be way past 120 by now but I've been just enjoying being a higher level and doing quests and fooling around trying to find stuff.

I don't have full 90+ gear yet but I'm working on it.. Going to hunt Dreamy Ghosts soon cause the exp is sick and I can just jam down on Heal Maybe find some Pyogo's.

Re: MapleStory

So seriously...how does Gachapon work...

EDIT: Nevermind...I can't wait until MapleStoryDS comes out, it'd be cool if you could transfer your character to it, kinda like Pokemon Ranch for the Wii/DS

Neither will downloading music. Does this mean it's legal to do it though?

it's the server that will take the heat if nexon ever decides to sue.

And it's the file sharers and software developers/distributors who take the rap in illegal music sharing. Does this mean it's legal to download as long as you don't share?

so really the only posts i should be watching for are people who tell you how to host your own.

Except that this knowledge can be used legally within fair use rights.

Re: MapleStory

yes, afro. nobody has ever been sued for downloading music. they only go after napster and kazaa and all of them. not a single person has ever been sued. ever.

I've never heard of people using a private server being sued. It doesn't happen.

LISTEN YOUUUUUUUUU

Would you really expect a single gaming company to have the power/desire to litigate in the same way the RIAA does?

And just because people don't get "caught", doesn't mean it's not illegal. I speed every day on the way to work, but that doesn't mean I'm not breaking the law when I arrive at work without receiving a ticket on the way.

No, you're missing the point.

It's illegal to download music for free.

It's not illegal to play on a private server.

It's illegal to share music for free.

It's illegal to host a private server.
