well even tho u were ripped off, you can still make a profit:
-make a new name of your choice for the server
-use a redirect to accomodate that name so no one knows it's realy the ex-rofa server
-put up a nice spiffy site and forum (or one of those 2 in one script thingies)
-at this point you would need to aquaint yourself with someone familiar with the upkeep of an l2server and recruit some GMs
-then post your server on that L2 Private server list thingy
-if you keep the original rofa settings the server should run great provided your hardware/connection can handle it
-once it's up and running post a sticky on your forum with donation rewards (ie this much $ for thsi much Adena (in game currency) or this much adena for this item. the people who advise you on the upkeep should be able to advise you of good rewards that will intise donations but not spoil the game too much.
-runing an L2 server with donation rewards is like being a drug dealer (they'll always be back for more). i can't emphasize enough the adictiveness of L2. you hear all those cracked out stories of people murdering eachother in asia cuz some d00sh stole a virtual weapon.. well games like this are at the heart of it
anyway good luck with the legal shiz and perhaps you may decide to put your glorious merchandise to use. really depends on your patience and how busy your other affairs are.
cheers
