Each Shard that has a dataserver that serves Cyan files can be considered illegal in the same way the Offline KI can be considered illegal - or, if I remember correctly, the exact term is extralegal, since the copyright holder has to actually sue. It's not like the state can go ahead, like if you robbed someone. But I am not a lawyer.
The Shard admins can try to reduce the number of hosted files. To play on Deep Island, you technically need to buy TPOTS or get it from some other source. Or he can put them all on the dataserver and hope for people to be honest and not try to get them all from there, so that technically, one could get them all from the server. That will save him a lot of potential trouble caused by modified/broken clients.
I am sorry for implying this is as bad as what Dhel did. Technically, downloading them here is even more comfortable than downloading them in an archive. But the intention is different, very different.
It his however, in my eyes, still a big concern, for the files are still hosted and freely available.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.
