I think that TVtropes can help us with this one. That way the server owners are completely safe and the blame is pushed to the players (which are not worth being sued). I found this even more interesting with Aion private server, where the at the biggest private server website before you could even access the content of the website you had to agree on a consent that basically says that you do not connect with the server which is pretty lol.

Server owner could just link to external websites offering the client and say they only host the server but offer no means to connect to it. It's often hard to proof for Gravity that an offense was done however. As all the protected stuff is inside the client, the server itself can hardly be called illegal.īut anything that concerns the client and modifying the client as well as connecting the client to a private server, is a pretty grey area and probably illegal in several ways depending on country. What however is protected by copyright are pictures, sounds and trademark names.

Hardly any country has laws about stealing source code anyway. There have been cases where other game companies such as Blizzard closing down very large private servers, charging the owners millions of dollars as they have earned millions from private server donations.īut if you are worried, as a player, you don't really have to be - the Owners are the ones who face penalties.

Gravity doesn't want to spend the money, effort, or time to close down hundreds of servers that can easily pop up like the weeds. Not many private servers are shut down because they don't earn as much from donations, aren't as large, etc. If you are strictly just editing scripts, etc without going in-game to test it (without using a client to access your server), you should be fine. In other words, if you are hosting a server to allow others or yourself to play, it is illegal since you would need to modify the client in order to log into your server XD.
