here are cases where a game creator has effectively shut down private game servers by threateningYou must be registered to see linksdue to obvious copyright violations, such as offering the client for download or offering downloads of modified files from the original game package, or perceived copyright violations, such as simply offering an "unlicensed" version of the game, which may or may not constitute actual infringement such as the infamous General counsel of Nexon America, Lloyd Korn in the MapleStory private server development [MapleStory Global].
I lol'd, 'Rogue Website'.
MoopleDEV isn't in the mail, luckily.
So, what's going to happen?
Oh, I failed to see that part.This is due to the fact that this is from before the section went away like 2 years ago. Ah yes, the link to BubblesDev. No wonder Generic kept saying I was a reason why RZ lost this section.
edit:
I don't see how any of them aside from BubbleDev were private server development. They were CMS, so possible web development, and not private server development...
Nexon said:Nexon is aware of RageZone and its owner/operator Daniel James. The location of the server used by Mr. James to operate the RageZone site is irrelevant. Nexon intends to sue Mr. James where he lives and where his personal assets, and the assets of others involved in RageZone, are located. Please tell Mr. James that if he wishes to avoid a lawsuit, then he should immediately shut down the MapleStory section of RageZone and contact us to discuss settlement. If Mr. James fails or refuses to do so, Nexon will have no alternative but to commence a lawsuit against him.

Thank you MentaL for telling us what had happened. Now, I'm not so angry.
+like.
I'm actually surprised that NEXON is lying by saying we stole any source code from them. LOL. Anyhow, this does seem like a tight spot for you. At this point, I, myself wouldn't know if I'd save the MapleStory section at all. If you had the money and such, you probably would win your case, but in the end, is it worth all the money?
Not to mention it shouldn't be too hard to prove that they are lying about us stealing their source code.
Update;
Realistically I could more than likely put a court case in against Nexon myself for all the slander, false accusations and previous extortion of my old hosting provider (DedicatedNow). I feel violated against my human and legal rights plus all the stress it has caused me. Further more, Nexon have also avoided my terms and conditions via my policy.
I thought it was DELETED though. It's completely stupid to sue the entirety of RaGeZONE because of one person. Furthermore , it was not only RageZONE who got access to that FTP. It was the entire world. Also, NEXON seems to be suing because we "apparently" stole scripts. Is this true?Actually we did, which is why Nexon went after RaGEZONE in the first place, although we didn't steal it. It was the BrazilMS files that were stolen due to the very poor security of their dev team. Someone released it on here awhile back and people tried getting it running. So that point I can understand, although... that's... Brazil, not Nexon America. How does he get off thinking he can "sue" for that. I guess I can sue a lawyer in Iraq for my wife here not wearing a shi-bob or w/e the hell that is, over her face.

Wiki said:Today freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognized in international and regional human rights law. The right is enshrined in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights.[8] Based on John Milton's arguments, freedom of speech is understood as a multi-faceted right that includes not only the right to express, or disseminate, information and ideas, but three further distinct aspects:
the right to seek information and ideas;
the right to receive information and ideas;
the right to impart information and ideas.[8]
International, regional and national standards also recognize that freedom of speech, as the freedom of expression, includes any medium, be it orally, in written, in print, through the Internet or through art forms. This means that the protection of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content, but also the means of expression.[8]
