Konami now has problems with the FREE and ONLINE Yu-Gi-Oh dueling simulator website : duelingnetwork.com. What these problems are have not yet been made clear by the founder of Dueling Netowrk, Black Luster Soldier also known as BLS. Dueling Network has been down as of June 22, 11:00 PM.

Black Luster Soldier, founder of the site says on his forum:"It appears that someone from Konami has filed a DMCA on Dueling Network. The server provider was required to take down the site until this can be resolved.
Please stay calm during this time. I am working on contacting Konami and am hoping they will be reasonable about resolving this issue. I do not know how long this will take. - BLS" For those who do not know, a DMCA is a Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Why this has been done is unclear to the public as stated previously, but the forum conversations all come down to money and profit issues.

We Yu-Gi-Oh player's have the right to practice and test our dueling skills or decks on online sites and downloadable programs ! Why should anyone or anything, no matter who, what or how powerful they are, force us out of those rights, I ask ?
