- ryanlol 11y agoHow exactly do they break the law?
- melted 11y agoBy downloading unlicensed modifications of proprietary software whose distribution is prohibited by DMCA as well. IANAL, but I'm pretty sure a lawyer would find half a dozen ways to make the parents liable.
- ryanlol 11y agoHuh? Who would the parents be liable to? What would they be liable for? Mojang ABs customers aren't magically going to become liable for their violations by using their software.
