Fair enough, I'm not arguing that. But we do have to respect the various modders wishes..

NO... we don't.. legally its public domain if the modder wants to post it for public download.. he can add all kinds of 'restrictions' but legally,..by posting it.. he voids any real claim on Fair Use... In fact, even if it was copyrighted... and he posted it for free use he would have a tough time winning in court..

What If a modder placed a silly restriction that his mods can 'ONLY BE USED IF YOU PLAY IL2 NAKED" are you really seriously saying everybody must 'respect that' ???

IF ANY MODDER DOES NOT WANT FREE AND FAIR USE OF HIS MOD (or more legally stated .. HACK).. THEN HE SHOULD NOT POST IT!!!!!
