I'm pretty sure that encryption itself was not ruled (or perhaps was ruled not) to be sufficient to form a protected copy-protection scheme, so I'm not sure how this stacks up against that.
I can see it now sorta. They didn't violate copy-write by simply bypassing and hacking since they don't really tamper, steal, or claim any CA content right? I think with the private servers, Nexon had some ground because they copied, reused, and profited from the actual game by hosting Nexon's content themselves.
In this case, I don't really know what DMCA can do for just simply hacking.
