In the end Maddox Games will not, as they should not.....and the hackers will continue to utilize, alter and distribute Ubisoft/1C/Maddox Games product without consent....and all the hammering at it will not change Maddox Games mind (as it's like some child asking 100x in an hour for a cookie they've been told they can't have).......In this case Maddox Games has given their answer in simply not responding....

No............So give it up, the activities of the hackers will not be legitimate till they make their own "original" product, not alter Maddox Games.

hacking/modding of games (dependant on the posters view though) did give more then a few people an entrance into the game industry. so I'm agreeing with you there, Billfish. Just too bad it had to be IL2. After the release of SOW I could understand it, but not now.

Nah, fair use only applies in certain specific circumstances, that don't apply here (study, literary criticism etc.), and owning a disk with the code on it, even when legitimately purchased, does not mean you own the copyright in the code. If I buy a film on DVD it doesn't mean I own the copyright in the film. It means I own a disk with the film on it. Same with software.

If the hack uses portions of the developer's code then chances are it infringes copyright, unlkess it uses insignificant parts of the code.

Nobody is permitted to open locked code, be sure

he, he ..... Ubi is sooo boring lately that all hardcore flammers moved in here .... great, the more the merrier ... One thing though Evgeny is a great guy so your protection from Ubi moderators wont work here .

and in all this time you didn't manage to find single new argument ....

as i said first level of Invaders all over again .... boring

Zo, neither you, nor any member of the hacker diaspora, have ever posted one legitimate argument for hacking the sim. Not one.

You and your kind are on shaky legal ground, and absolutely have no moral underpinnings for what you are doing.

You are wrong plain and simple. We don't need any other "argument" than that.

And what protection would I ever need from UBI moderators?
