I think the DMCA is the probably the most ridiculous thing ever written. When you try to own digital media, problems arise. I'm not saying it's okay to pirate anything and everything, but there should be a different method of making sure everybody who creates digital media is adequately content with their reward. All these new lawyers and firms popping up representing intellectual property is stupid, the internet isn't something you can control on that level, try as they might.
EDIT: Why do people still call them script kiddies? No one really writes/uses AA scripts anymore. ;-;
In the new digital millennium, intellectual property should deserve the copyright, and that extends as far out as digital data, even if they're nothing but 1s or 0s. Personally I see no other way to try to control this other than better encryption and whatnot. But there are always the professional hackers who are able to get by that. So Nexon has to at least act on the macro level and kill off what is actually hurting their profits first - hackers, meso sellers, abusers - all those who deter actual legit and paying (and non paying->potentially paying) players from enjoying the game. =\
