    A quote from the article,
    "I’m a modder! What does this mean for me?

    Well, the*harsh answer is:*either*don’t mod at all, mod only for works where the rights-holder has condoned the practice, or keep your mod private instead of releasing it to the public (which is still infringement, but without anyone noticing it). If a rights-holder does not like your mod, then they can and will strike your mod down (via a cease and desist letter and a DMCA Take Down Notice most likely). Once that happens, there is not really anything you can do. If you want to release a mod of a game you do not own any copyright in, your best bet is to*ask the rights-holder for permission."

    It is very clear from this International Law Firm Article that unwanted mods, whether they are provided for \\'free\\' or paid or held privately or publicly, the unwanted mods are illegal and copyright infringement.
    I can't tell if you're a troll or just bitter.

    Both.

    Imagine hearing all the conveniences mods do for someone. Upscaled graphics (hairs, armors, environment, etc), Clear information (incoming dmg, what did actually kill you, custom color toggles for colorblind people), other time saving miscs (teleport commands, cross world mb price checks, etc)...

    And then here they are, with their vanilla game and their absolute distaste for all things that put you at a disadvantage. They gotta vent their frustrations somehow.
