Installing a ripped copy of the game disc without owning it physically, on the other hand, would violate DMCA laws.īut, again, it's not usually enforcable against a single user beyond service bans unless you're hosting an illegal ROM site or are making and selling the mods to jailbreak a device.įor Year 1 (characters with blue toy tags), only the level pack DLC needs to be claimed: Back to the Future, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters (1984), Midway Arcade, Portal 2 and The Simpsons. Things that are free, like the Lego Dimensions DLC, would likely not be subject to that. Section 1201 of the law makes it illegal to circumvent digital locks that protect access to copyrighted works, which can include software." " In the US, jailbreaking falls under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which covers digital copyright issues. If you use one to access content that you have not purchased, then it is illegal in the US. That said, depending on the mod, there are definitely some that are illegal. Doing so voids your right to access their network services at the very least.Īnd given that the majority of those services are being shut down in a week, that means the repercussions are pretty much zero. it's not enforcably illegal-they aren't going to sue an individual for installing a mod because it's not worth it and it's likely the case would be thrown out even if they tried-but it does violate the implicit Terms of Service/EULA (I'm not a lawyer, I don't know which of those is specifically related to this scenario) you agree to when you turn on the console.
