Koolk was arrested!!

Wow... Nexon just crossed the line.

Huh

People providing unofficial public servers crossed the line first.

This may be the end of private servers as we know it.

You may consider this a bad thing, but so too do murders think it's bad that killing is illegal. You're too deep in to the situation to give an unbiased opinion on whether it is right of Nexon to do these things or not. It's Nexon's IP, and they're completely justified to bring legal actions against those who would infringe it. How would you feel if you created a movie, game, or other piece of art and were trying to distribute it, only to find some rogue group deciding that their version of your piece of art was better, and not only this, but this group was giving away copies of your art for free and encouraging the public to stay away from your official version.

I'm all for the other things KoolK was involved in though. The stuff that, you know, isn't illegal, or rather, the things which actually fall under fair use.

Fiel can't, because he's literally making Nexon earn more money by giving it more publicity and more info.

This is irrelevant. Many of the things on this site are blatant infringements, even things completely unrelated to the concepts of data extraction.

However, since the site's purpose is that of a fansite that pushes players toward Nexon's service, rather than a "Rogue website" that encourages distension, Nexon likely will not act against this site. Anyway, they'd have about the same justification to attack Sleepywood or Hidden-street as they would to attack this site.

isn't he part of the wz repacker though

The repacker falls under fair use so long as it's not distributed. Fair use won't stop Nexon from suing, but it will allow them to win the case about it.
