this is Stupid.. its like you go out and buy a car and is told that ure NOT ALLOWED TO PAINT OVER IT!! then those shops that paints or re-paint cars get suit cuz its GOING AGAINST COPYRIGHT LAWS!! car makers/bot makers/cpu makers/phone makers/etc SPEND MUCH MUCH MUCH more money in their R&D and they dont whine when their work get painted over/modified/made faster/different casing/etc.. TECMO's argument would be valid if those games were rented/borrowed/lent/loaned.. but NOT when it is BOUGHT!! if anything, its promoting ppl to buy the games more just for the sake of modifying it...
