I seriously doubt anyone thinks the Seventh Sun was trying to "rip off" anyone. I could certainly think of a lot easier ways to scam money off of people than starting a MUD!
This is a good illustration that the best of intentions, lots of talent and a good supply of enthusiasm may not be enough to build a MUD up from ground zero. Unless you've done it, it is hard to imagine the pitfalls, obstacles and frustrations that can plague development of such a massive project.
