To approve of these mods would mean to condone hacking and I'm sure everyone understands that no company would sanction that.
And regarding "self-policing" at AAA ... The fact that there seems to be a list of "do not link to" websites is speaking volumes about how much the admins there really have to say about what happens regarding modding Il-2 - nothing at all.

Totaly agree on the legal issue and how beeing able to mod came about (by theft more or less) (And to anyonelse btw: NO, we do not need to go down that road of "but what is theft REALLY, when u think about it, bla, bla, bla and bla again..and so on, and so forth.)
As for "wont work" and "self policing", that was more a "what if" kind of thing (a big what if)..like for ex, IF there where some kind of system implemented, wich there, like u said, isnt at the moment..and proppably wont be in the future either.
Anyways, officially approved mods wont happen/work even if Oleg says ok...since the code is out there to be abused by anyone...and sooner or later will be, if u dont count what happened up until now that is, wich in in self is kind of a clue as to how the idea of a officially approved modding system would work if implemented.
The official modders where never a problem in the past, the rouge hacker was however and will allways be no matter how many times one say "official"
