    "So, what are you in for?"
    "Eh, I mugged an old lady and pulled a knife on a guy in a bar."
    "Damn."
    "You?"
    "I made a client-side modification to an MMORPG titled Final Fantasy XIV which made all player and non-player characters look like Lalafells."
    "... What?"

    and then the prisoner was shanked for being into kids, lol.
    Let's be fair, I doubt the average prisoner knows what a Final Fantasy is let alone a lala. Show that to them and what do you think their line of thinking will lead to, lol.

    Unwanted Mods are illegal

    I would like to highlight that even if the unwanted mods are provided for free and not condoned, the mods are deemed illegal and a copyright infringement.

    http://mttlr.org/2012/11/gaming-mods-and-copyright/

    A quote from this article, "mods are “legal” only insofar as game developers suffer them to be so; the moment a developer finds a mod distasteful, it can be found to infringe copyright."

    The invalid argument that \\'free\\' mods are legal over paid mods in very misleading.

    Your thoughts?

    That you're taking things out of context, literally in this case. Anyone who reads the article can see that. And that you're just trolling.

    If you're going to open up a debate, might as well reply to people with your opinion rather than regurgitate articles at us that are a decade old. Otherwise this feels like talking to a brick wall.
