I just hope “injected code” and “overlays” don’t become somehow actually illegal because of these rulings because there are plenty of valid uses too.
I’m curious what uses you have in mind–anything that’s an online competitive (i.e., you compete against other players–doesn’t need to be esports sweaty) game I don’t think there’s a strong case for allowing injected code, since that’s an avenue for gaining an unfair advantage and thereby worsening other players’ enjoyment, and anything offline I can’t see it being worth a company’s time and money to prosecute.
Destiny 2 isn’t really online competitive for starters.
It definitely has elements though.
No, it really doesn’t at all in a sense that anyone cares remotely about.
It definitely has elements in it.
Void, solar, arc, strand and as stasis.
You should learn more about the game if you’re gonna criticize it.
I think the problem is that the ruling now establishes that overlays and injected code are a copyright violation. Therefor any overlay or injected code is now illegal unless you have permission from the authors if the game.
Damn. That seems excessive. Then again, online cheaters are vermin.
[Very sarcasm] It’s nice that copyright just means a copyright holder gets to do literally anything they want as long as a relevant work is involved. Wouldn’t want anyone to get away with any kind of local modification, tinkering, tweaking an old piece of software to work in a modern environment, some forms of modding… All obviously reprehensible violations of a wank gesture, eyeroll Copyright Holder’s right to control distribution of their work!
IP law is so fucking vile, and yet proves it can continually get even worse :|
Edit to preempt, just in case: Also, no I don’t need another bullshit lecture on how “IP law isn’t a real thing, it refers to separate segments of law blah-blah-blah” but somehow can’t be used as a term because some wankstain feels like being condescending.
