Maybe we need to set up a community legal fund and chip in a bit? :hmm:
Any attornies here? Or anyone with an attorney friend that can help?
Legal recourse is the way to stop them and make them pay through the nose, if they are indeed guilty of intellectual property theft.

No one here has standing to sue X1... except the modder who has suffered actual damages due to actual copyright infringement... but, what are the damages, if any?... and does the modder hold an actual copyright to anything?...
Then, there is the question of what law applies, what court has jurisdiction, and where is the proper venue for litigation?...
Right now, private detectives are probably needed to gather in all the facts.... names, addresses, dates, telephone numbers, website login records, emails, retail sales records, software publication records, etc.... before any lawsuit is filed...
Gathering pre-suit evidence, just to determine what liability and damages exist, if any at all, is very time consuming and requires a lot of voluntatry cooperation from other people, which is seldom forthcoming...
