Thanks for the concern. I suppose I should clarify a few things.
First, I not only have a law degree but I used to be a law professor (so you can blame me about the glut of attorneys out there, hehe). So I know the costs and risks of going down this road. (And--as I myself counseled someone on another thread a week or two back--it's mostly cost and risk in this instance, and likely little benefit.)
Second, I'm just exploring some theories right now, and since there's only one of me, and I'm neither a litigator nor an IP specialist, I was trying to find a few extra pairs of hands (or, rather, eyeballs).
Mainly, I'm trying to find a theory that--in keeping with a prospective change from carrot to stick--would let us file a suit that would hit NCSoft in the PR department. If we had a legal claim that the courts wouldn't dismiss out-of-hand, and if we could find the wherewithal for it, NCSoft would have to defend it, and that would make at least a little news (though not soon enough to have any immediate impact). Two big "ifs," I know, but at this point we're getting a bit desperate, and desperate people need to make sure they've considered every option.
Does this have much of a chance? I'll be the first to try to answer this question realistically. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least toss the idea around. (And I have found a few theories being discussed in the law schools that are intriguing on at least a theoretical level.)
