Submission + - CoHEmu receives cease and desist from NCSoft
Malign writes: "The CoHEmu (now known as CoXemu) Project received a cease and desist order from NCSoft today. The cease and desist can be found here: http://www.tonster.com/ncsoftceasedesist.pdf
The CoHEmu Project is an open source City of Heroes and Villains server emulator written in C++.
The topic in their project IRC channel reads: "cohemu site shut down"
Apparently, the webhost that powered the project forum was taken offline by the ISP and the server maintainer had to call them and explain what was going on to get it back on the net.
The project source code was completely open, but NCSoft accused them of using copyrighted material.
They also warned of possible outcomes if the content was not brought down such as court and heavy fines of approximately $100,000 USD.
Another emulation project bites the dust to the will of corporations."
