freedom of the press protects you from the government, not the other people. and since the original intellectual property is nexon's, saying that they cant censor what you are doing with their own property is kind of pointless. its their property. one way i think of it is like this: think of nexon like a park or something, and they let you come in for free and hit in their batting cages all day free, but they ask for a donation if you want to use the really nice new bats they have, that have nothing but looks and feel better than the crappy ones they let you use. someone comes along and says, i have all these really nice bats over here, why not use them for free? nexon as the park owners, lose income and may have to close the cages, or start charging for them now.
not saying that its completely true in this sense, because its not. but since they are a business, they dont like competition offering their stuff back to them better than they distributed. they see it more like a slap to the face than an extra hand helping out. they also dont like people cutting into their wallet, imagined or really, so they will follow up on both the actual and the imaginary till they find that they feel safe and cozy again.
back to the OT: i really hope they dont try to make an example of koolk and nail him to the wall, he really did contribute a lot to the community and his loss will be keenly felt down the road.
