One could always ask the question, "What if we removed cash shop from our private servers? Would that free me from legal responsibility because I'm not stealing anything that it sold for profit at Nexon anymore, therefore I'm not stealing away from revenue." But ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Maple Story is an intellectual property not owned by you or me, but by Nexon.
I was actually coming on to post that very question as it seems that is the path that Nexon is taking, chasing individuals over "lost income".
As a side note, would Nexon be required to demonstrate the they actually lost income through this? I play a p-server occasionally and have quite a bit of Cash shop clothing on me, however I would never EVER pay for any of that in Global.
