You don't have the right to decide what is a valid ethical choice or not. If you think it's not valid, that merely means that it doesn't pass muster under your ethics.
So, totally unrelated to the topic of discussion. Because we're talking about modders making not-for-profit modifications for games using "IP" from books, and you're talking about MP3s on Napster.
You're going to have to provide actual links. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know how to look thing up via some random names.
My statement really implied that they seem to just get C&D letters, and it is left at that unless it is fought or ignored. Do those cases actually have anything to do with game mods, or are you reaching out of context?
Because JRRT and those who followed in his footsteps have already laid claim to various concepts. I am aware that copyrights are not identical to patents. But under copyright, the combination of "access" and "substantial similarity" implies infringement, and courts have held that "substantial similarity" includes similarity of nonliteral elements.
You both seem to be missing the point.
If it's not LOTR, then it's not LOTR and just some pretender.
I'll just be happy if it doesn't take 20 hours to "calculate" which files are going to be deleted when things like "del" do the job almost instantaneously.
All this does is discourage the lower-level bots, and decent passwords thwart those. A directed attacker will still find it, and is more of a threat anyways.

Search for "Facebook report" - you may need to have a (free) account, you also may need to link it to facebook.
But it does tell you all kinds of neat information.

Sounds like the same kind of person who wastes half a gallon of fuel to save a few pennies per gallon...
Perfect Fail.
So, yes - it is the same by the letter. But please, use your mind some and think about it. Should that actually be the case?
Don't forget the second half...
The vendor will buy it back from you for $15.
I'm thinking something along Oblivion's Annoying Fan might do the job, and have a chance to fit in.
Don't you have it backward?
Funny how this MMO doesn't have monthly fees...

Damn. Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2, and Guild Wars 2.
It's going to be Wallet Massacre 2 - the first being the steam summer sale.
Perfect timing IMO. Meaning that all the drooling WoW-tards will be elsewhere shortly after release.
Then the law is wrong or incomplete. It's not just semantic shit. It should actually matter.

Which is never an issue with not-for-profit material like mods.
Ah, you must have gotten teased when you found it to be above your reading level.
Funny then, how they were not making a game.
It's only a game when the end user combines the assets with the engine. Prior to that it's just a bunch of artwork.

Ever hear "it's better to ask forgiveness than for permission?"
If they ask and are told no, they are already being watched. If they don't ask, they stand a chance of flying under the radar.
That would be more creative output than you've ever come up with, asshole.
Timothy, go to your room! Don't come down until you've thought about what you've done!

IPDeny sounds right up your alley!
Fail2ban is quite flexible - but I prefer denyhosts myself.

It's not a bad idea - just don't rely on it.
