Except you're forgetting that the law has not been on the side of the modders. Nor would this be. In fact it's more likely that a more severe copyright law would go after the modders rather than support them, as much of what they do could, in fact, be construed as hacking, distribution of licensed content (as technically all game data is owned by the game company) and thus violation of copyright.
