  1. Interesting piece about copyright and proprietary software code in which a video games studio (Epic Games) sues a live-streamer for "cheating" in Fortnite theverge.com/2018/5/9/17333292/fortnite-cheater-lawsuit
    1. …in reply to @SimonXIX
      tl;dr version: Epic is suing the live-streamer (a minor) because the cheat involved a modification which in modifying the software altered the code to create a derivative work. They then streamed this derivative work which infringes copyright by publicly displaying it.
