Problem is this is an emulator, and there's potential legal issues if P99 hosted a torrent or provided the discs free to download etc.

It's down to the user to search far and wide (or pay $100 etc).

That I do not understand. If it's ok to host the server and it's fairly obvious that Trilogy box is nothing more than a collector's item - rather than a legitimate way to obtain the LIVE version of EverQuest, then why would P99 giving out precompiled data /discs be a problem?

Apples and oranges.

The server hosting coding is owned by the people running the emu. Sony does not own that code (Sony v. Bleem; Sony lost; 3 times).

Distributing the game that Sony still owns, however ancient? That's a no-no.
