Evidence...or unsupported opinion?
Any examples of publishers taking action against game mod sites? Ever...(Piracy issues not included)
Under what law and what jurridisction would they be prosecuted...we've discussed the legal standing or lack of ad naseum elsewhere...everytime it is raised it is proven that it has no legal basis...yet people keep restating the terms "prosecuted" or "legal action" i assume in the hope that if it repeated enough times someone...anyone...will accept it as fact.

jasonbirder - Knowing how to take your posts I refrain from giving you a thorough reply. You would twist words to suit your agenda anyway. But yes, I'd say hacking the file protection system of a commercial release is the issue here, not necessarily the stuff people made of it. But as they profit from a technically illegal act I'd say Ubi would try to find a way to shut the site down. They haven't become a large publisher by exerting Salvation-Army-politics

I assume you refrain from giving me a thorough reply because a thorough reply would expose the holes in your logic...I can find
No examples of commercial software publishers taking legal action to close down sites offering Mods of game software to legitimate software purchasers (Pirated Software is a different issue) ...
There are no examples of individual users being taken to court for breach of EULA's, though there are test cases in law that set the precedent that EULAs are non-enforcable contracts...
Ubisoft as a software publisher have always openly encouraged community modification of their software titles and i suspect are as baffled as the rest of us at the hostility a tiny proportion of the IL2 community exhibits to the many and varied improvements to the game a bunch of hard working and talented amateurs have created.
