We can hurt ourselves more than help if we make too much out of something we can do nothing about

Are you really saying that X1/CP had the legal right to use mods created by others and sell them? I call BS. Stop characterising those who stand for honesty as wanting to destroy sub sims.

Now could it really be legal for someone to take something created by someone else and sell it? Yes or no and why? I want contracts and legal codes and precedents. NO FLAMES.

Thanks.
