Ultimate Online Forums - View Single Post - Why do you think EA hasn't taken down free shards/emulators?

Always been a question I've pondered.

I've often seen comments by EA devs, or higher ranking officials (Producers etc) saying how they're illegal and action will be taken.

Shard emulators have been around almost as long as UO, so that's 10 years
So why, after 10 years, hasn't a single free shard been shut down, or any of the emulators, been shut down also?

Any theories?
