SoE shut down Winter's Roar (came back as Shards of Dalaya) for about a year. That was a long time ago and hasn't happened since.

Winter's Roar? They weren't charging anyone. SOE hit them with a C&D and Wiz didn't have the money to spend on lawyers and stuff. They waited about a year, changed the name, and haven't been bothered since.
I wouldn't say SOE "Shut them Down". Yes, they did send a C&D. Do you know how many C&D's EQEmu has gotten over the years? Winter's Roar CHOSE to shut down after they got a C&D because they were afraid of continueing. EQEmu chose to remain open after several C&D's and was never touched.

Sending a C&D is one thing, thats simply sending a big important looking letter to the owner of something saying "Hey stop this or we're gonna come after you", then following up with that is a completely different thing. I'd say more than 90% of C&D's aren't followed up.
