Websites that were using other games to do remakes of Ultima IV such as using the NeverWinter Nights engine were not affected, neither were projects like xu4 that require the original Ultima IV game files. One or two of the websites who were asked to take down the files claimed it wasn't fair because they weren't around when you could obtain permission to host the files, but that means nothing. Those sites were asked to take down the files. There were websites that either did not receive official permission or thought that there was some kind of blanket permission given, or they went and made direct online versions of the games that looked exactly like Ultima IV. Unfortunately most of the websites that had official permission have long since vanished or haven't been updated in years. You can still download from those sites, I did it yesterday as a matter of fact. I linked to the page listing the remaining websites earlier ( Ultima 4 v1.01 | Ultima Aiera). The websites that had obtained official permission from EA to host the Ultima IV files are still allowed to. I don't know why this keeps getting repeated, but it's false.
