I have a harder time wrapping my head around this after your comment. I get that police are there to protect corporate profits, so it makes sense in that way. The IP stance though, is this precedent that if you are a large corporation, the game laws you make are then enforceable in the real world?

It does really blow my mind that makers of software that people buy and run on their own machines are going to get locked in a cage because they were undermining a game's design.

I've actually had some respect for China's treatment of intellectual property, as I believe a looser IP policy allows for faster innovation in society. This is just enforcing corporate interests though, it's not the world I want to see and it's going to take some very talented developers and reverse engineers out of the job market.
