1. nope if he made it, kept it to himself and such then that's perfectly fine. No harm no foul. Not the situation here.

2. Nope, unless the gun distributor had a permit to do so, he is breaking the law.

For your first paragraph, how many games have the defendants themselves pirated?

For your second paragraph, when did software modifications become a controlled commodity under American law?

1. they created the method to do so, and I don't know what they pirated themselves now would I?

2. Sw modification for personal use should be fine as far as I know, but distributing that? Pretty sure that will have legal issues.

again you are still stuck on the making it for self use part of it. If he himself used it then that's fine but this is like piratebay. you can torrent innocent personal material. But it leads to piracy.

I'm no expert on law btw :P I have no idea about the clauses and such nor the history of such cases. That's why I said I hope they win. Cuz this is gonna cause harm to the industry whether you admit it or not. So yes I hope they find a way to corner his ass in court. Doubt it will happen but I hope it happens.
