Dear Mr. Timmer:

 

Thank you for your e-mail of March 9. As you may be aware, our client has been continuing to investigate this matter; thus the brief delay in responding to your e-mail.

 

We appreciate your cooperation and your agreement to cease any activity concerning AlterIW and related projects. We also acknowledge that, as best we can determine, it appears that the AlterIW community is in the process of winding down and we trust that you will continue to assist in this process.

 

We do, however, have an additional matter to discuss with you that is of serious concern to our client. It has come to Activision’s attention that over the last week or so, you have become involved in developing or operating a new community known as “FourDeltaOne.” Our understanding is that FourDeltaOne is a distribution and development point for a new Modern Warfare 2 dedicated server project, and thus intended to take the place of AlterIW.

 

As you certainly know, the development and operation of any emulated Modern Warfare 2 server violates Activision’s intellectual property rights. Whether you have purported to incorporate “authentication” or “verification” checks does not change that fact, and does not make the project any less infringing. Accordingly, we must demand that you cease your work on FourDeltaOne or, for that matter, any Call of Duty emulated server.

 

We are hopeful that we can resolve this matter quickly and amicably with you. However, we must have your written assurance that you will, in fact, cease your involvement with any Call of Duty emulated server projects, including FourDeltaOne.

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions concerning the foregoing.

 

As such, I'm proud to announce that IW4M does not include any emulation of Activision's IWNet (or other Activision-designed, such as DemonWare) protocols, and therefore, IW4M does not constitute an 'emulated server'.

lulz these fuckers are really anoying, I think they're shitting in their pants because you enabled new maps and new ingame content, for them it's more important than anti-cheat and dedicated servers

LOLOL ACTAvision got pwnd yeah!

lol moneyvision is jelly, keep up the work NTA you should be proud of your self.

 

and of course the Staff members too.

It doesn't emulate IWnet ? So I understand : your account is linked to your steam version of mw2 ? Does this harm any features ? Oh and NTA, if you will get fined, I'm sure at least some people will donate

Why do you instantly rely on the fact that someone else will donate? Why don't you chime in a few bucks yourself? If everyone had that mindset, the income here would be flat zero. I'd understand the fact that you can't or don't have the money, but why push your belief that someone else will, then? Personally, I'm a cheap fuck. The only game I've paid for in the last few years was Bad Company 2, and I'm not even sorry for pirating that much shit.

don't have a credit card.

 

since when you need a credit card to buy things on the Internet?

if you're in a weird country not selling any pre-paid cards and where payment services don't provide bank transfer support?

you can always mine, convert the money to WMZ, and buy from plati.ru for $15.

For the people who wonder why tekno(you know who :mrgreen: ) weren't sued or warned, its because they offer offline playing, in other words they aren't emulating(simulating) iwnet's master servers (matchmaking doesn't work), they are based on direct connect, at least that's my opinion.

Plus their services are so useless and unpopular that Activision decided they aren't losing enough money to warrant spending thousands on lawyers. It's all about the profit.

gg activision

why don't they leave us alone already we're gonna their stupid game for crying out loud

Indeed, but with the decline of the ex-Alter community and people parting ways, their popularity and general size of their userbase should bloat. They'll probably catch the ire of Activision soon enough.
