You misunderstand - I make no threats, I merely explain the rules of sociology, which your arguments do not take into account. Ethics are defined by a specific society's norms, and our text-mmorpg society has vastly decided(and vehemetly defends their stance on this) that making profit on a DIKU derived game, or otherwise breaking the license of the DIKU team is not socially acceptable, or ethical.

Law does not equal ethics - otherwise, Chaos would reign supreme. The checks and balances for this statement are that society can define its own ethics, without the need of execution of law.
