Bungie was awarded $63k, but most importantly won under the argument that reverse engineering Destiny 2 violated their copyright.
Reverse engineering has historically being protected under US law, with the DMCA making exceptions to allow it for interoperability.
This could signal that any form of reverse engineering, even clean room reverse engineering, could be deemed illegal and punished as a copyright violation.

I'm curious why Bungie couldn't win under the argument that Phoenix what is distributing software designed to harm Bungie's platform, given that Destiny 2 is an online service.
in any case, I wish this would be appealed but I doubt it will be. there's no way this President would hold up in the Supreme Court.
President or precedent? Perhaps both?
