Did I understand this correctly that I've been banned from Smolderforge and if so, how long or permanently? I really hope you aren't serious or otherwise you are going to read about me getting this server shut down (FBI+Blizzard).
I'd be glad to tell them that you're sharing WoW with torrents, that is in possession of Blizzard and you don't have any right to that. This private server of yours is also illegal and you're making money with it and else. You'll be surprised so think again do you want to ban me.

The FBI has no involvement in private servers. The only time Blizzard ever pursued private servers was one time in 2008. In order for us to be in violation of anything, Blizzard has to have their lawyers send out Cease and Desist orders. What we are doing currently is legal, until Blizzard deems it not so -- it's their copyright, not the government's. Additionally, we are hosted outside of the United States, therefore the DMCA and other US laws are not applicable there.
It is now 2013, and Molten-WoW is 10 times bigger than WoWScape ever was in 2008. Are we going to get shut down? No. Is the FBI even going to raise an eyebrow or even ever be involved in this sort of affair? No.
so think again do you want to ban me.
Yes. You just bought yourself a permanent account closure now. I won't tolerate being threatened, regardless of how ignorant the threat is.

Actually Blizzard allows this kind of servers (private ones) to exist because round 20% of players later starts playing on retail, wanting to experience original game or getting sick of bugs etc. It is good advertisement.
