Discussion Innova won claim on Russian Federation against free servers.

They can only take down the .ru domains, nothing else.

doubt they will mange to block anything outside of rus, and even there it will be prolly just local domain block on dns level. Biggest hit i can imagine is getting these privs blocked from mainstream payment platforms in complying jurisdictions.

 

Looks like both scryde and gamecoast decided to change their domain tld, but scryde didnt even change registrar which is rus xD

 

anyways, time will show, they DMCAd few streamers earlier this year and now this, it would be funny shitshow if innova went all in and im hoping they will

 

this is just the begining. they will go all in on everything it's just matter of time when.

they don't have any reach outside of RU because they don't own the IP outside of RU, they only have it licensed for RU, it's very unlikely anything will happen other than domain blocks inside RU, and maybe seizing of any .ru domains, if any of the owners are inside RU sphere of influence they might not be in such a great position but anyone in EU or literally any other western country will be untouchable by RU law.

 

and putin not gonna send hit squads after private server owners so it's all a bunch of hot air, it's not first time innova has gone takedown crazy, they nuked a bunch of drop db and info sites in RU a few years back, nothing came of it in the end

I'm surprised they sat quietly for such a long time. Back in 2004-2006, NCSoft closed tons of L2 private servers in Europe. To be fair, all these servers will be "sold" no7w, ppl will get scammed with "xxx server source for sale!" and they will be re-open with other names on different hosts.
Right?

ncsoft only closed l2extreme, they then sent DMCA takedown notice to everyone listed on gamesites200, my server included, most servers at that time just ignored the takedown notices and moved hosting providers, ncsoft took no further action against any other servers

 

this is likely to be the same situation except it has much MUCH less reach than ncsoft's action did back then, as innova can only use RU law which has no international agreements in place for copyright like USA's DMCA does

REBORN likely to disappear as long as this is true.
