(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 106 exclusive distribution rights) and the EU Copyright Directive (2019/790), giving Mojang/Microsoft the right to enforce against unauthorized distribution. The FTC Act Section 5 is relevant if enforcement is selectively or deceptively applied. Primary enforcement authority rests with Mojang/Microsoft through civil litigation, with secondary jurisdiction by national copyright enforcement bodies in applicable territories. (2)
