Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. secured a legal victory on March 11, 2025, against Mr. Christopher Anderson, a developer of the 'Infamous Mod' for 'Grand Theft Auto V.' The Federal Court of Australia found Mr. Anderson engaged in actionable conduct under section 116AO of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
The court determined that the Infamous Mod circumvented Take-Two's technological protection measures (TPMs) designed to prevent unauthorized actions within the game, such as granting superpowers or creating cash bags. These TPMs were found to prevent, inhibit, or restrict acts comprised in the copyright of Grand Theft Auto V.
The ruling permanently restrains Mr. Anderson from manufacturing and distributing the Infamous Mod or any other circumvention device. This decision is significant for Take-Two as it upholds the company's ability to protect its copyrighted works and in-game economies from unauthorized modifications, which is vital for maintaining game integrity and monetization strategies.
