Lloyd Korn shuts down MapleStory hackers.
Oh, you want to play that card. I figured since the DMCA and free speech were the issues here, we were speaking in reference to the US. And in the US, we have a Constitutional right to guns. Must've totally escaped my mind that guns are outlawed.

You don't need to issue a better example, I agree. But your example doesn't apply. Code is being used for something harmful. That has nothing to do with the distribution of it, nor the creation of it. The user is the offending party, not the creator of the software.

Cheat Engine does not infringe on anyone's rights and Nexon is, indeed, overstepping the boundary of the law. How it's used might infringe Nexon's rights, but that's a separate issue entirely that has nothing to do with DarkByte.

What you're suggesting is anything that can possibly be used for copyright infringement is actionable. This is THE SAME EXACT THING as trying to go after mIRC because it supports DCC. Going after Bram Cohen for BitTorrent. Going after Windows Calculator because it can help you decrypt and distribute encrypted copyrighted files. There's no difference. Cheat Engine is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.
