    Your logic is flawed endlessly. Do not host a server to make money, it is wrong and against the law. While reading this thread I have thought to e-mail Jagex personally and discuss the private server situation and get their side of the story, so to say.

    Besides it being wrong and illegal, making money "hosting" servers is not only morally wrong and unaccepted widely by a large amount of RuneScape server programmers, it is next to impossible because there are always antagonists and firewalls, so to say, that will prevent you from doing so.

    Hundreds, no, thousands of servers have been hosted in the history of RS emulation and only four to six of them have been able to make money for profit. What they do make is surely nothing close to being able to live on, that's for sure.

    Most of the people who have hosted servers and made money have done so incidentally, meaning that wasn't their intention. If it was they have failed. If it is, you will fail.
    Your numbers are so wrong it's not even funny. I can name atleast 15 servers that have made over 2k a month.

    I wasn't very confident in them anyways. My point is that it's bullshit that kids will host servers and leech other people's work and it upsets a large volume of this community and this kid has the audacity to ask how he can make money by hosting a server?

    I may be over reacting but it just stupefies me.

    And I bet not even 5 of those servers haven't done shit for it. Great for them now but they're really going to get a hard time when they do this crap in real life. Because we allow it, but an actual legal court won't.

    I'm not sure whether you're talking about JaGex or the people who release the servers that get leeched, but if it's the latter then once it's open sourced you can pretty much do whatever you want, including hosting it for money (whether you've developed the server or not).

    Depends on the license... but yes on the whole most open source licenses do not prevent you from making a profit.

    This whole thread is pointless, if your making a server to make money. We don't want you here.
    I'm not trying to be rude, obviously the answer to this is simple. Host off-shore on a country that doesn't follow DMCA.

    I my self, received around 5 DMCA's until i moved to offshore, since i have received 0

    The difference is your ISP isn't sending you those notices. Your ISP is still getting them and is just ignoring them rather than forwarding you it.

    You have nothing to worry about at present.
    Hmmmm... I don't know about that. There are a lot of people being sued (even people who didn't do much) just to scare the masses and be an example for the others. So that the mass thinks it can happen to them. Didn't say it will happen with Jagex but it happened with a load of other things.

    Depends on which server. Graham's own Hyperion server is.

    If you release it, it's pretty much open source.
