> Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

I find it really frustrating how they phrase things because there is so much BS in almost one sentence. The entire point of having a private server is so that they are no longer in control of these things.

Moreover if I am running a private server:

- It isn't their responsibility to secure players data.

- it isn't their responsibility to remove illegal content.

- it isn't their responsibility to remove "unsafe" (whatever that means) community content.

So how could they be liable?

This is pretty much disingenuous argument that "PirateSoftware" was pushing. They are pretending that a single player mode would need to be created. This isn't what is being requested.
