TL;DR: Apparently ESA is calling private servers “illegal.”
The article mentions “Electronic Software Association”, but that does not appear to be a thing? The logo above appears to be from “Entertainment Software Association” which is… what they mean or no?

This is the “theory” by which publishers try to justify the validity of EULAs (they argue: “buying the thing isn’t enough; you need to agree to this to be able to actually use it”).
But, fun fact: copyright law has a specific carve-out for that incidental copy, 17 USC §117 (a) (1), which means EULAs offer no ‘consideration’ and are therefore bunk.
POLICE!!! PUT DOWN THAT COMPUTER AND NOBODY NEEDS TO GET HURT!!!
An industry body with no authority to do anything said a thing that goes explicitly against its members stances.

The only reason they say this is almost certainly because they have a plan to start moving that direction. So a shadow of things to come. Like when I whip it out in front of a single-point light source.
