I wonder how many hours this will stay available before Disney sends a takedown notice to the server host for moddb.com


Do you think they are violating any laws? They aren't profiting from the mod and it requires a legit copy of the game. It's arguable that it actually helps Disney by increasing sales of the original game.


Definitely. The ability to create derivative works is one of the exclusive rights of a rightsholder as laid out by Title 17 from the US Code.


None of those things have stopped companies from issuing DMCAs in the past.
