There is no character called Leech on Shattered Halls and you've been around these forums long enough to know that's grounds for removal. Armchair legal advice can also take a hike.

Original Post:
MDY should obviously not be liable in any form, shape or way because what they are doing is in no way copyright infringement nor even any other form of violation.
The problem MDY has is simple, they were stupid enough to be registered/operating from the US where there are dubious laws and rules regarding computers (DMCA, fair use, memory = legal protected copy and so forth). If they had operated out of say a scandinavian country or anywhere sane they would've been fine.
Worst thing about this case is that again the US Court system is opening up a whole can of ugly worms with some ugly precedense though that's been the case for years with the DMCA and it's blatant disregard for reverse engineering and private fair use.
