my comment:

I must say the cops r tards if they r doing this, i drove a car when i was 7 many times lots of people do, mostly kids on farms, its not a big deal that the kid is driving. and ive gone faster.... although i am against having the mother in and 2 other children in the car, thats just un-necessary risk. There r many more who would agree with me to

im 15.... so to all u adult posters who say "OH EM GEE! he is so bad the parents should get locked up for ever" SUCK IT!!!!! over protective freaks....

who agrees?

NEW HAIR CUT

FEUDALISM: You have two cows. The lord of the manor takes 90% of their milk.

FASCISM: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and then sells you the milk.

SOCIALISM: You have two cows. Your neighbors help you to take care of them, and you share the milk.

COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take of them, but the government takes all the milk.

TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and then denies they ever existed.

DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

MILITARISM: You have two cows. The government takes and drafts you.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Soon you have a hundred cows and a local monopoly that lets you charge whatever you like for the milk.

RE: Law

I think it boils down entirely to money.

Considering my own choice of mod and all I've looked into this a bit and there's really no rhyme or reason as to what's done, why it's done, and who it's done to.

Basically you can't Mod a game unless the publisher/creator wants you to. Their desire to allow or block modding is what makes them encrypt files, disclose methods, provide editors, etc.. Sure, a talented fan base can do a lot on their own, but the more the company wants to discourage things the harder it is, just as the more they want to encourage modding the easier it is. As an example of each I give you Battlezone 1, which was decidedly unfriendly to modding, vs Battlezone 2, which is amazingly friendly to modding. Usually a publisher/creator supports modding when it sells more games, or keeps them selling, such as ID, or Valve, who rely on their fanbase to keep the game growing and therefore selling.

If you CAN mod a game, whether the publisher/creator wants you to or not, you usually can't mod it using the property of another creator/publisher. As an example the HALO RTS type mod for a non-Microsoft game engine was sure to get MS's lawyers in an uproar given how much money they have tied up in the HALO franchise.

You also may or may not be able to use the publisher/creator's other works in a moddable game. As an example, there was a group recreating the DOOM/DOOM2 creatures in one of the Quake engines, and ID stepped in and stopped them with the threat of a lawsuit. This was suprising as ID is usually very mod friendly, but later it turned out they had their own plans to recreate Doom in DOOM 3 and didn't want anything diluting their profits.

If you were to try to recreate Battlezone 2 in the Quake engine you might not have anyone complain, given that both Activision and Pandemic don't (officially) care about the non-profit creating BZ2. If you tried to create Quake in the BZ2 engine you might hear from ID. If you tried to create Quake in the HALO engine you'd probably be nuked from orbit... and both ID and MS would deny any knowledge of how that happened...

So, like I said, it boils down to money. If a company feels it'll make them money they make a game moddable. If they feel it'll cost them money they block modding. If you try to take something that makes or will make them money and move it to somewhere else they'll come after you...
