I would be more inclined to agree with Rockstar’s position if they actually explained how it was “designed to facilitate piracy.” That’s a pretty steep argument to make, because not only does the code have to actually “allow” piracy, which I’m not sure how it does, but also the intent of the designers had to be for the code to “allow piracy.”

So, how exactly are they defining piracy her? My understanding is that the intent was to allow people to play on modded servers with their legitimately purchased game. Doesn’t sound like it was “designed to allow privacy” at all. Sounds like it was “designed to allow modding.” As far as I’m concerned (and most people) modding does not equal piracy.
