Largest Maplestory hacking website being sued by Nexon America and Nexon Korea Corp.

Nexon should NOT win this. Writing software that works in conjunction with other software should not be construed as copyright infringement. As much as I hate hacks on Maple, stuff like this is why we are against SOPA (trying to take down websites for poor reasons).

In principal I agree, but there's also the fact that these websites not only cost Nexon money which a bill like SOPA would target, but goes ahead and profits from it too (and from what I understand not by any small amount either). The second part is what will and should do them in.

All that a side, there's already precedent: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-9991451-93.html

Though I'm really not sure how it ended in the end.

There we go, I suppose we'll see the same type of developments in this case. The nail in the coffin will be that the we never own the game, only license it.

I also have to go back on the loss of revenue statement I made, because Maplestory is a f2p game, but then again they do state they lose money working on patches to fix hacks.
