Yeah, poor THQ works hard at writing the code to redact the code they already wrote to lock the DLC that was shipped with the game in the first place, so we can't morally circumvent the virus-like, program-breaking code and deprive them of the justifiable extra cash they make from totally justifiable and legitimate actions.
But in all honesty, scummy and designed to cater to personal comfort of the old money and incredibly wealthy or not that's the law and modding something like that can get you (and anyone who helps, hosts, provides, enables or simply neglects to immediately inform law enforcement) some jail time so I wouldn't recommend bringing it up hereabouts.
