So I can't make my own remix of a song that I bought?

I can't edit Lord of the Rings to use the better beginning from Fellowship with the fellowship extended add ons?

great idea, lets sue the people who are buying and playing the games, morons!

the should learn from some of the PC gamers and give out certain info so people could do these types of things.

Is offering people skins to existing software - given one had to hack the software to do it - illegal. If I read "Gone with the Wind" and offered you some pages to intersperse within the story - for whatever purpose - is that now be illegal. I'm not sure I like some aspects of "the millenium act".

Wonder what's up with Tecmo. In case they haven't noticed, some of the best selling games are ones that are designed to be easily modded (Halflife, Unreal Tournament, etc.).

The techcorps are getting real upset that more and more average folks can operate on their level...They won't be able to keep the genie in the bottle for much longer.

What's the big deal? They aren't losing money on their games.
Microsoft allows 3rd party vendors to create aircraft and scenes that combine with FltSim. I don't see the harm in it...

When are people going to get their heads out of their behinds and learn to stop buying stuff from the antagonistic RIAA and MPAA and various software companies, etc?

Can you imagine your being sued by Ford or Mopar for customizing your car?

The harm isn't just to the wholesome values of Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, hinted Tecmo spokesperson Melody Pfeiffer.

That is a wonderfully subtle stab.
