I decided to talk about the legal atmosphere of modding video games. It's a very gray world, where nothing is certain and the stark lack of regulation allows people to take advantage of each other, even when doing so is sometimes against the best interests of the party taking advantage. Courts have been a bit all over the place in deciding how the law should be handled with digital programs, and it's likely that Bethesda and Steam were going to be at the center of their own legal controversies had they maintained their "pay us for other people's mods" system which made many assumptions and sought to seize vast amounts of intellectual property.
