    Hello, I was wondering as to what causes legal issues with RuneScape when opening a server. Is it because we use the RuneScape cache or does it have something to do with the source? What are some ways to avoid any issues pertaining to legality with RuneScape whilst being a large server owner. I've heard that if you include that you are a Non-Profit (donations only) server intended for educational purposes RuneScape cannot do anything. How is that so? What stops them from taking action?

    If somebody can provide me with a way to check this information myself, that would be great.

    Feel free to discuss legal issues beyond this.

    The fact that everything you're doing related to "rsps"'s is illegal.

    This is runescape's code. We aren't even allowed to be doing rsps. But we are thugs.

    I'm pretty sure that the sources were created by players and not the RuneScape staff, how would someone rip off a wealthy company or more importantly why would they release it? It doesn't make sense, there must be some other explanation.

    What are you referring to? The cache? Client? What exactly is copyrighted?

    You're using a decompiled version of their client that's why. The server is legal cause that is not their code.

    It was made by the runescape development team. Which makes it their code.

    The servers are different from Jagex's, its the client which we are dumping from RuneScape. Its copyright, if you can write a open®GL client that connects to your server then there is no problem.
