You have enough problems with IP as is. You certainly won't be able to make anything dark and/or "mature" with Disney breathing down your neck.
But seriously, if Ubi wants to maintain the apparant direction of the Prince Of Persia series (which I hope they don't), or go with the dark-er ending of Beyond Good & Evil for the sequel, they won't be able to do it with someone afraid of taking chances at the helm.
Even worse, the people who will spray paint Tubgirl on walls so that they can get a free kill off the people who are staring at it, frozen in shock.
Happens in CS all the time.
Paying for mods and such? Is that a joke? It shouldn't cost anything. Anytime any form of currency is involved in gaming, it messes it up. Go into any MMORPG and just sit around for a bit. Count how many people say "LEVELER FOR HIRE 2.50 A LEVEL WILL PL 4 FOOD" or "WILL TRADE CREDITS/INFLUENCE/GOLD FOR $$$!! CONTACT NOW!!".
Money always brings out the worst in people.
Theres gonna be a deluge of crap mods that people made in a "get-rich-quick" type thought pattern that're going to flood the "market" with sub-par mods.
Get rid of the micro-payment and leave it for the people who do it out of love for the game.
Why pay five cents for a song when you can get it for free?
There will most likely always be P2P type services, and getting rid of ALL the torrents out there is a daunting, maybe impossible, task.
If we're paying for this music and theres an easy and free alternative, we better get SOME sort of advantages, such as:
Ridiculuous quality, lossless, small file size, all different types of files available for purchase, maybe even a points system (such as ThinkGeeks) and something ELSE to put those points toward... Band t-shirts, live concert performances (streaming, of course)... You get the idea. Maybe they could even pick up a few tips from Steam's digital distrubution technique, minus the updating every second.
So they spent their whole friggin lives working to get into Harvard, and because out of burning curiousity and passion they wanted to know whether they had gotten in or not, they got un-accepted?
BULLFECES!!

Invisible enemies trying to sabotage an OS? This is starting to sound like paranoid fantasies, people.
If they charged you for that, than it wouldn't be fair. Its not your fault there are gaping holes in the security of the OS they're using.
Ah yes, the ignorant masses ruin everything for us smart folk once again.
Holy crap! Wireless tacos, you say? Brilliant! BRILLIANT!
At least it costs you money!
