Hmm.. Well all I know is that last year my work was gonna do a freeshard for a ad. Spaced out ad for a big very known computer company. But we couldnt because we would break some laws by doing it. We did research into it back then.

It was the client people use to connect to the shard that would be a violation... But there is a free non UO client now... it sucks but it does work.. But that made us change our idea to Second Life.
