Asked that in the channel for you:

Preacher/mIRC: "We followed their rules to the letter reguarding game modifications (rules they drew up after GC was released), and since they had no problem with GC, and we followed the same exact rules, I say we are free and clear."

As you can see everything is safe. Apparently rules were created for game modifications including star wars or other copyrighted content after the release of GC (which was probably the start of it), the team now follows the same rules and demands, so there shouldn't be any problems. If LA had the intention of seeing this mod shut down we (i guess) would've heard about that long ago. The team wouldn't stick time in a project with no future.

It's just a go-ahead from LucasFiles and then the party will begin, heh. So no worries.

Slim to none. We're pretty safe. Legally of course they could, but they won't.

You are missing the point it is ILLEGAL for us to distribute Lucas Arts copywrited material (Star Wars) wtithout the concent of Lucas Arts. Giving you the mod is distributing copywrited material, if we do it is well within Lucas Arts's rights to shut us down if they so desire. We didn't make the rules lucas Arts and US copywrite law did. We have to play by these rules, we are not jepodising the mod for the sake of faster download speeds. The mod will be imediately uploaded too our sponsers (4uServers and HyperArena) servers for download when we get the all clear.
This isn't our choice this is the law.

Whats the chances of Lucasarts not approving the release of this mod? I pretty much would die..

When it comes to mods I almost always end up getting them off of Filefront. Fileplanet can get realy slow, and the others will get over run in minutes.......

Just to clarify, we only have to wait till Lucas Arts nods at us, thereby giving green light. You don't necessarily have to get it off LA's servers since those are sometimes a bit slow. All filehosters will get an exclusive link for the client once it is available on LA itself, you then can choose if you want to grab it off there or the exclusive 100mbit link. I'll also create a torrent, upload it to gameupdates.org and seed it.

And 3TB should be enough for some time.
I might provide a traffic balancing download.

All you got to do is wait for Lucas Arts to release download link. Then SSH into your webserver and have your webserver download the files for you. That way you don't wast time uploading to your server using FTP.
IE.
Login using SSH
CD var/htdocs/www/downloads (or what ever folder system you use)
wget http://www.lucasArts.com/downloads/what … ame-is.zip
open Firefox and type in your server web address. Like www.oddsodz.com/downloads/whatever-file-name-is.zip
Hey presdo. People can now download the files from your site and you did not have to upload from home.
I Would also host the files on my webserver. But I just don't think 3000GB per month Bandwidth will be enough. So I Won't. I Wil ljust look out for a good torrent if one comes up from a authorized source.

I afraid that is beyond my abilities to do this. SSH is a mystery to me. Thanks for the idea though.
