    In Short: Hasbro had put up a legal issue against Cockatrice and it's shut down

    Re: Official Cockatrice thread

    Do we know the context of the C&D?
    Is it copyright infringement for the imported Card Art?
    Is is patent infringement for the use of the Tap mechanic/wording?

    Curious minds inquiring.

    Are you acting like retard or are you one?

    MWS and Cockatrice are similar programs but MWS has been around a long time and now suddenly WOTC decides to axe Cockatrice? Just wondering why not both if they are going to do it?

    Does your memory not function as a side effect of your retardation? Read a fucking history book on Magic related online resources / organized play / desktops and WotC before you open your eMouth.

    They also C&D'ed the distribution of Apprentice32 and Netdraft in 1999.

    They C&D'ed all of the MTG related Android and iOS apps last February.

    Why are you asking why? You think any WotC lawyers are lurking here to answer your legal questions?

    The better question is how MWS still manages to be around.

    Shutting down free ways to play Magic online makes sense, though, as they are competitors for MODO.

    Re: Official Cockatrice thread

    I wonder why Hasbro did this for?

    The majority of the people don't use cockatrice as a substitute over paper magic. People use cockatrice as a place to playtest for FNM or for tournaments that help Hasbro make money.

    I guess i'll be quitting soon. I use cockatrice mainly since I don't have too many friends to playtest with for a tournament. On the occasion I do go to a tournament with my brother, I won't have a deck playtested thoroughly enough to even compete.

    Well to Hasbro, they don't pocket money from a secondary market directly. People who use cockatrice are usually playtesting cards that they will eventually purchase singles.

    Some possible reasons ...

    It's positioned as a virtual table top pretty well in it's documentation and supports multiple CCGs
    It's tabletop engine is peer to peer and thus doesn't have a central server to 'shut down' (it can be run through a 3rd party server process as well for those cut off from firewalls and whatnot)

    One could make a sound argument that Windows 3.1 and MS QDOS are competitors to MTGO. Have you seen the state of the program? By extension, recording your own games with a camera and broadcasting that to the internet are competitors to MTGO.

    It doesn't matter if the program is shittier than its competitors - what matters is that people aren't paying money to use WotC's intellectual property when they use competitors. That in itself is a legal issue. That said, even if MTGO were the bestest program evar, people would still use programs like MWS and Cockatrice because the latter are free while MTGO isn't, and WotC would therefore still have the same incentives to shut them down.

    It just helps the competitors' cause that MTGO is a shitty program.

    EDIT: Come to think of it, most programs Wizards puts out are garbage. Duels of the Planeswalkers is oddly polished when you compare it to, say, MTGO or DCI Reporter or any of the other shitastic bugfests WotC produces in-house.

    It is possible for anyone to setup Cocatrice server. In the future, please do not post server info here, PM interested people instead.
