It won't send you to prison, but if you get caught you can get fined/and or sued by sulake.

Thomas it was because a nub (NO NAMES) reported u to sulake. and you used their version. This wouldn't happen if u used v26

 

[Bazinga]

All versions are copyrighted.. Thats why it's called a 'Trademark'

Of course it's illegal. You're replicating someone else's work without their permission. Sulake can take legal action at any time they want, but up until this point they haven't. However, they have sued various people who have scripted on their servers.
