The only things that were recreated were server software, which nexon can't copyright, because they likely don't look anything alike. There is no law against server software. No law against downloading the client. If before all private servers began I chose to make a background from a map my desktop, could nexon stop me? No. Because they GAVE me all those pineappleing files to begin with.
Legally obtained =/= using legally. I could legally obtain a trial version of a program and then use a keygen or something similar to crack it, doesn't make what I'm doing legal.
If you like it or not, private servers use maplestory content created by wizet and/or the respective branch responsible for distributing maplestory.

Also it would be very strange -if- some servers were actually -using- .wz files realtime to operate, since all that's in the .wz files is stuff to operate the maplestory client, not the server... :oI'd be pretty suprised if they didn't use the .wz files , since you know, thats where most of the game is stored.
