Just playing devil advocate but companies do need to protect there intercultural copyright.

Which would be valid except that Light's Hope is a pre-expansion game server, the content of which was completely erradicated by Blizzard over the intervening years.

It would actually be great if they had to protect their artificial monopoly, rather than offload the costs to taxpayers. It wouldn't be worth it, and how would a company employ the violence necessary to stop people from using their own property to host a server? It's a resource-wasting enterprise which benefits just the monopolist.

Whould you say that if, for example, a company produced printers and ink cartriges for those printers for years, and then suddenly stopped producing those cartriges, and when people started making substitues, they would sue the shit out of then. Would that be protecting their copyright?

If that's the case, can you name any cases where a company has lost copyrights?

You won't, because they enforce them!
