*I am the owner of GameAnarchy...
*It says I can't post in a thread that is older then 21 days ( http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=55655 )
I decided to register and post because you seemed to have a mature discussion regarding the nexon cases.
*If it turns to flaming I will not return
The protection order was needed because I gave them all of the source code and financial records.
I freely gave them all the source code, to show none of their code,artwork,sounds etc were used and also to show hackshield was NOT "bypassed".
We have tried to settle, but nexon just doesn't care and like the that one maple hacking site who's name I am too stupid to know not to try to say because clearly I'm too dumb to read the rules on sharing hacking related links doc states, they do seem to have a hidden agenda.
funny how when they open stocks to the public, they get lawsuit crazy and don't want to even talk about a settlement.
So why would I consider a settlement if what i'm doing is not wrong?...money, it costs alot to defend a lawsuit.
If you can look past the "moral" issues which should have no legal basis...
Copyright - NONE of nexons IP was copied/hosted/used in the software provided
DMCA - they claim hackshield is a DRM that restricts access to the game? uh no, how does it protect the game from being copied. DMCA is susposed to protect digital items under copyright law, ie keep people from ripping IP from a digital format. Nexon have abused the DMCA for years with false claims and scare tatics.
I wish to expand on the DMCA since it's the strongest position of their case due to bad and vague wording in the DMCA law.
recent cases have been heard that rule in favor of what the DMCA spirit was intended to protect.

"Merely bypassing a technological protection that restricts a user from viewing or using a work is insufficient to trigger the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision. The DMCA prohibits only forms of access that would violate or impinge on the protections that the Copyright Act otherwise affords copyright ownersÂ…"
So even if hackshield was "bypassed", so what nothing was copied!! (which is not even the case)
I do have more legal defenses that i'm not going to discuss yet, my point I hope people can see is that it's not a slam dunk in either case for nexon.
