There's plenty of enemies who shoot at us. At least allow us to shoot back at those particular enemies.

Nobody knows, right? It basically comes down to prudency and the “need” to not poke the Mouse in a such a way as to warrant them raising an eyebrow.
As soon as *ANYthing* put out there would, at ANYtime, raise ANY doubt by Disney to question TLOPO’s decision making...the remake is @ risk. This is especially true since Disney funnels so many upper managerial people to where job positions are constantly being rotated. (Constant rotation in job tasks and responsibilities creates fewer people whom would actually sympathize towards what a remake itself is doing and...that is separate from the law itself [which is already one sided against remakes from occurring]).
~ Don’t misunderstand and don’t be deceived!!! *Profit loss alone is not the sole concern of why a big corporation would (and could) pounce upon something going on which they haven’t explicitly gave permission. Trust me, I have direct experience in stating this because I have seen and am experiencing this currently with the employer I am lucky enough to be affiliated with. (R.E.P.U.T.A.T.I.O.N. of a company is just as important as profit margins)!
Altering how Disney approached in-game violence (by the shooting of guns @ ‘people’ in general within TLOPO) is a “reputation thing” for them if it were to be known that such practices were occurring. And so, WHY would you want to think any differently given the potential of risk (of the potential of such loss) given your pirates’ in-game efforts and progress made thus far at this point? If I were playing TLOPO or any other remake...I wouldn’t.

What then are the tlopo navy guys outside the gate doing? As well as many soldiers at the forts. Unless they're throwing their guns at us.

they stab you with the bayonets or bash you with them but they dont shoot at us
I'll keep that in mind and try to find a clear example in game. Almost positive I've been shot at. Somewhere.

Dont think so. There aren't any enemies in the game using a gun as a weapon to shoot. Perhaps you mistook another player as an enemy?
We can shoot at each other in pvp. So yeah you might have been shot at in tlopo

lol. I don't do pvp. Been in it once or twice since I've been here and the only thing I saw was a pirate flying around 5 feet up killing me at 30 paces.

You are quite wrong about copyright law. It is very vague and there is much president in many directions in cases such as this. I would say that while it is unlikely that Disney would try to shut down TLOPO as it is, because as you imply it would be difficult for them show actual damages and with the current state of the game it would be unpopular with Disney's fan base, once TLOPO goes down the path of changing the core values in the game Disney would then have much more leverage to claim damage to their brand and garner support from their fans in such a move. As it is it is not clear what a court would say about TLOPO should Disney sue but all Disney would have to do to change that would be to reopen the game, they have the files and could open it with one guy and one server and then there would be no question that Disney would be able to claim damages and get an injunction to shut TLOPO down. There is no question Disney is capable of shutting TLOPO down anytime they like what is questionable is their resolve to do so when it is their own fans recreating their work because they love it and Disney is not currently planning to use the work again either. Should Disney decide to use the work again or think that there is reason to believe that TLOPO is damaging their brand it will be good bye TLOPO with the quickness.
