What you are trying to do is have a place to play your vanilla WoW with no threats of it getting shut down and play it to your hearts content. How is this a derailment? It's literally the perfect answer, unless you just want a crusade to go against Blizzard? I feel a need to reiterate: you say there are areas in the world where copyright doesn't exist, you say you want a vanilla server to play on. If everyone who wants this actually pulled together resources is it not possible for you to get the things you want without going directly thru Blizzard? This is not a derailment of the conversation as much as just stating think outside the box. You've literally stated exactly what you need to do this, yet no one wants to take the initiative to actually put it into action.
