In response to post #67714036. #67742636 is also a reply to the same post. @axonis I disagree. According to the above write-up, the people who run Gamefront had reached an agreement with the Nexus. Other sites who hosted the files had no such agreement. The Nexus was under no obligation to renegotiate, but did so out of courtesy to their peer. With that said, this entire issue of redistribution rights for freeware is simply not well addressed in the current body of IP law. There is little real recourse in such a dispute, and I think the Nexus absolutely took the high road in this situation!

Exciting stuff! I'm interested in how you arrived at the 15% adjustment for piracy. Was this value suggested by Bioware, or your own research? Also, if you are simply reducing the number of modders by this percentage to account for the fact that 15% of all DA:O PC players pirated the game (my assumption), doesn't that assume that mod use is equal between people who purchased the game and people who illegally downloaded it?
