How are private servers allowed to operate without being struck down by copyright infringement or something similar? How was the source code obtained?

Firstly, most of them are not hosted in the same country and are instead in places with very lax copywrite laws, the usual suspects are there if you search up countries with worst copywrite laws
Second, its simply not worth it for companies to sue, if we assume people on private servers weren’t going to pay for actual servers anyways the companies have lost nothing.
That being said, there are companies that will absolute go after every private server and copywrite violation, such as Nintendo.
