The servers ask each other about files if they don't have them. So all it takes is a few clients connected to 1 or more servers to spread a file around the network.

If this happens on a GCW server, does that not put GCW one step closer to being a "warez" site. I dont know alot about laws, but is it worth the risk ?

There doesn't need to be a server run by GCW, although as another poster mentioned it would be nice.

That means hosting a emule server that spreads warez is legal?

That's the cool thing about eMule - the server doesn't spread anything. It just keeps track of who has what and then tells clients how to talk to each other when one has something that another wants. No files actually go through the server. An eMule serve is really just a big search engine that returns client info instead of web URLs.
