2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

There's isn't even an IP argument to be had. They abandoned the game, so why pay a lawyer to ~~sew~~sue?

Edit to correct.

so why pay a lawyer to sew?

I hate to be that person but just in case you wanted to know, it's spelled sue.

sew: to unite or fasten by stitches
sue: to seek justice or right from a person by legal process, specifically to bring an action against

Fuck me I can't go two days in a row without a spelling mistake! Also don't apologize, I would rather be embarrassed once now, than potentially infinitely in the future!

BTW, to answer your original question: just because someone is a lawyer doesn't mean that can't also know how to sew. I wouldn't be surprised to find a darning egg or two in a legal professional's briefcase. They do have to wear fancy suits, after all.

IANAL but, just because they abandoned the game doesn't mean they don't own the IP. It's still their IP and unfortunately IP laws everywhere suck ass. IP law only works if you defend your IP. If you don't defend it then it can weaken IP protection on other IP you own. Even if you don't actively use the IP you still need to defend it to keep up protection on your other IP.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

So how can we help set up more servers to cost them even more legal fees?

I'm new to the Linux scene, but if you find a bot that does this, I'll totally run it.
