As Torkell said, it is the webhost's policy, and it is a perfectly reasonable position. It does not matter that Epic would probably never spend their resources pursuing a tiny group of people distributing a game that was a market flop. The hosts would do well to deny service to us if they knew such things were going on. If they did not, then they too would be liable to Epic.

The administrators and managers of J2O have put in ridiculous amounts of time, energy, and money into this site. Yes, we all want new players and publicity for this game, but it is simply foolish to distribute the game freely here. They do it all for you without asking anything in return except to follow a few simple rules. If you, as an individual, choose to distribute the game illegally, then there's nothing the administrators here may do assuming that it is not connected with J2O. Moreover, your insistence is not going to help your cause, as I am certainly positive that this rule will not change.
