[Very sarcasm] It's nice that copyright just means a copyright holder gets to do literally anything they want as long as a relevant work is involved. Wouldn't want anyone to get away with any kind of local modification, tinkering, tweaking an old piece of software to work in a modern environment, some forms of modding... All obviously reprehensible violations of a wank gesture, eyeroll Copyright Holder's right to control distribution of their work!

IP law is so fucking vile, and yet proves it can continually get even worse :|

Edit to preempt, just in case: Also, no I don't need another bullshit lecture on how "IP law isn't a real thing, it refers to separate segments of law blah-blah-blah" but somehow can't be used as a term because some wankstain feels like being condescending.

Like... I don't disagree with the sentiment here when it comes to most things that have to do with copyright and modifications; but if you're using the modifications to get an unfair advantage in a multiplayer game, you're a piece of shit and deserve punishment.
