Hello guys.
I'm currently modding an existing MMO (lets say WoW) to make it look like a MMO from another franchise (lets say Pokemon).

So is there any like this out there that you know so I can't be traced? What could I do?Or maybe I'm just overthinking it and if I'm hosting the server in Sweden (where I think it's not illegal for foreigners) there would be no problems as I'm from France and I'm not commiting any illegal act in my country and I'm doing it in one where it's not illegal also?
