I translated Final Fantasy 5 in 1997 with a Japanese friend without Square's permission, and we never got a single cease-and-desist order from Square Costa Mesa, a whole 6 miles away from us.
If it weren't for the DMCA being overly broad, this would not be illegal. A patch file is a list of instructions.
Would a document that told you places in a book to white out words and write your own be illegal?
If Jedi is an official religion, why don't we make the Prime Directive an official religion? Then the Census can answer the age-old question of whether there are more Trekkies or Star Wars freaks!
I have found many severe bugs in the online game Phantasy Star Online that I have notified Sega about, yet they have not fixed them, or even replied to my contant emails. I want to write an exploit to post onto Bugtraq to force them to fix it, but I don't want to incur liability upon myself.
