Large scale copyright infringement is covered by a the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. TRIPS. Which was signed by most of the WTO countries. This agreement forces countries to make large scape copyright infringement criminal.

In this case it is neither large scale, nor commercial.

Oh, alright. You do not like that word?

You cannot gain personally from a infringement.

Honestly, just read the definition of 'Fair Use.'

The only parts of a mod granted protection under the Berne Convention are those that pass the originality test, or Derivatives with explicit permission of the original owner.

The rest is a Fair Use work incorporating multiple copyrights for the betterment of the public.

I'm not suggesting 'we' change the law to this, I'm suggesting the law is already as above to encourage creativity.

Will that help to reduce the deliberate obfuscation?
