If someone wants to spend hundreds of hours making a copy of a copyrighted game, that's their prerogative. We can't force people to not do things over the internet.

If said work ends up costing them in legal costs and punishments, then that's their problem, not ours.

If someone wastes hundreds of hours and ends up in jail, then that's their problem, not ours.

And if someone receives no lawsuits or any tangible consequences as a result of infringing someone else's copyright? Well, that's their situation, and has nothing to do with us.
