I remember when a friend first told me about private servers for WoW several years ago, and I was a bit mystified by the concept. It almost sounded alluring, but I more liked the idea of the possibility of making friends of all kinds on an official server, versus toying around in a twisted walled garden that removed the original game’s challenge. I was already playing legally with Mark, Jason and our kickass listeners and didn’t want it any other way.
Regardless, this kind of lawsuit reminds me of the RIAA suits on napster users… someone being made an example of. I like Jason’s idea of how it could be monetized though… that’d be a cruel twist of fate for scape…
