LOL. but like that would ever be the case for a game this awsome.
Actually, the copyright owners are Onsoft. Outspark merely licensed the game - but they do not hold any ownership whatsoever of the copyright itself.

The legality of moving files from one game to another is perfectly legal.

Copyright laws - if you really have a degree in law, you know only applies when the product in question is being sold, redistributed under another name, or redistributed without the consent of the copyright holder.

For the posting of the files here is, infact a violation of the copyright - however, moving the files yourself is perfectly legal.

Furthermore, if you wish to discuss about the legality of the situation here, is the End-User License Agreement. The one we agreed to before playing this game. That is the only real legal violation being made by the moving of files from one place to another.

Copyright does not offer protection from disassemination either (one thing frequently found wrong with all these newly graduated lawyers.) Again, that is an End-user license agreement.

Again, this does not fall under outsparks jurisdiction. It falls under the true copyright owners Onsoft. The only part outspark has to play in this is the end-user license agreement - so it can be questionable whether it is under outsparks jurisdiction depending on what was written in the agreement.
