the US doesnt seem to abide by the treaties it signed up to (geneva convention, anyone?) so i dont think anyone is going to care about the US position on copyright outside of the US

Low blow by whoever that was.

All that cut&paste legalese from the ESA website is their spin on it, otherwise known as their "interpretation" of the law. Highlighting in bold their interpretation where it fits their agenda does not make the matter black&white, right vs. wrong, ipso facto.

I agree w/ Seb (and this is my take), that they can't be harmed monetarily since they no longer collect revenue from the sale of the game. It would be difficult for them to sue for any sort of damages either monetarily or brand/franchise defamation if the game is released unaltered.

It is a gray area, and LucasArts just shot themselves in the foot by stopping its sale -- denying them of any claim to real damages.
