Hi Beery,
If what you describe is the legal situation then something sucks.
I am sure you are right that X-1 will claim copyrights over 'their' product. But would those copyrights (or more accurate: copy-wrongs) be upheld in Court against the modders who only intended to serve our community (and have some fun in the meantime)? And could that result in the Doomsday scenario you describe - modders being taken to Court for making available for free their own mods?
If it's true then the law makes stealing mods a lucrative side-job...
