You sir, are at least objective in your post. I appreciate that, and your very correct. I'm just saying they allowed it previously and now are banning people for it? They need to retroactively take back the bans to the accounts with which this was done from when it was legal.

RMT was never allowed on p99. Account selling for plat was but never for straight cash.

Fixed your grammar error you fixed for someone else earlier. Also it was never allowed here.

Sure, the factors for potential infringement are certainly there, but the question as to whether or not the potential infringement is actually actionable is far from settled. Also, Sony is well aware of P99, and Smedley has even commented on it. They've obviously not pursued it, and there's a strong chance they've reached an understanding for P99 to peacefully exist with Sony's implied consent.

Again, the justifications for why RMT is disallowed here are largely irrelevant. If you want to connect to their server, don't do it.

Sony has failed to enforce their copyright against P99 for the last 3 years. Rogean and Nilbog have continued to work on the project and incur additional expenses. 17 USC Section 106 aside, so long as P99 doesn't expand their operations significantly, and continues to crack down on RMT, it would not surprise me if suit against P99 is inactionable on the basis of waiver and laches.

I in no way want p99 to go away, or get in trouble, It's a great policy. I just thinks it's hypocritical is all.

God bless equitable defenses.

The only time the server is going to give you items for cash is if they can suck Brad McQuaids dick in the process.

Lets get another kickstarter going guys!

Found this on another thread (8th Post by Champion_Standing) http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=144310

That is in fact RMT sugar coated in a "donation" to an entirely different game. Just doesn't add up.

If you dont like "their" fucking rules then dont play here qq gg stfu
Simple copyright laws would beg to differ. Simply saying this isn't their game. Its a server that exactly matches something already made. I'm only saying they can't play the card that they put so much hard work into it. They just copied what was done already, I realize re-coding to match its previous form wasn't easy, but it also isn't their game. I don't hate this server by any means, its brilliant. I'm just saying you can't simply say something is alright then when they change their minds, ban people who did it.

im not going 2 argue with you anymore clearly your a fucking retard and dont understand that it is their shit because they fucking just banned 400ppl and no one is going to stop them so yea that what i would call "theirs" go file a lawsuit or stfu

Here's a fun fact

Doesn't matter who is wrong or right

If you RMT you will very likely get banned. The end.

So. If you truly don't care about your account and want to very seriously risk someone tracking you down for a refund... go for it. I wouldn't pal.

This is the post that i will respond to reasonably, you call me an idiot i'll reply with an equally dumb post, but this post is actually just stating his opinion and again i agree with it.
