Hey so my friend and I are buying a server from a Minecraft user. I recently found out that thought we will be buying the files and everything, this person is planning on keeping the server up, having two of the same servers running. This was not part of our agreement.
Is this allowed, since we are buying it from him? If not what actions (possibly legal, though hopefuly not) can be taken?
This sounds like something that you'd need to talk to him about. You could ask if you could remove the files and put up your own server. If he says no, you might want to ask for a refund!

Hmm I don't really have any experience or knowledge about this, but I presume that you could not take legal action. Did you have an actual contract? That stated you could move in your files, etc? I would try to sort something out, and maybe "threaten" legal action?
Also it depends on what terms you agreed to everywhere. If this was just over skype then you probably have nothing against him or her and if there were a long list of terms and agreements they probably stated they have the right to do what they want. So you probably can NOT take legal action. As jakeob22 said I HIGHLY suggest you get a refund and work it out with him/her
Technically, since we bought the sever could he get in legal trouble?
Not totally sure but considering that Minecraft is the property of Mojang you might have issues using legal action. Just create something yourself and differentiate from his/her work, players are looking for unique servers so it will benefit you the most in the long run. If that is not much of an option then try and speak to him/her.
