So what makes the 'debug' mode a nono in the eyes of Bandai Namco?
Wasn't supposed to be released outside of the studio.

Right, but what could someone do with it?

Sorry but they should make sure what is the file , what is in the file before making/sending a claim against it . That thrid party company was acting under some orders and should have made sure to do thejob properly
The issue is that there is no problem for them when they mess up, and if there was , they would check before sending complains , they don't because there is nothing for them to check the file when they can shoot on sight
They kinda released it though. Albeit by accident. Also, as far as I've seen everything you do is client-based, so ti doesn't carry over to PvP or Co-op. It's just fun to mess around with. Like the ragdolling of your co-op partner, or take over bosses and using their movesets.Companies tend to frown on copyright infringement.

Exactly. They distributed the executable to the public. It may have been a mistake, but treating this like stolen material or something is ridiculous.
Get this man a tag. "Even the one who fixes sometimes needs something fixed"
Oh, here we go. A confirmation that it was mistake.

So, doesn't look like an official statement and apology, this is barely a shrug.

You're living in a fantasy land.

No. They wouldn't. Never mind that it just wouldn't happen (right Joe Schmoe files a DMCA against Disney YouTube channel and somehow gets the content blocked), but they aren't going to waste time pursuing this further for the lost 3 bucks or so in ad revenue.
Just looking at the comments; there are clear cases of gaming corporations being incredibly heavy handed with their digital rights management. Here it seems we have a case of a company not being familiar with the good mods and the bad, having it removed and then immediately reversing course when their error was pointed out. The level of offense just doesn't match the situation - at all.
Arbitrary would suggest they were just willy nilly going after mods/alterations. That isn't the case; they seemed to be after a very specific form of mod for the game and DSFix got swept into the other "bad stuff".
Yea. Free all the things! As someone already mentioned, DMCA isn't perfect and it isn't pretty, however until congress comes up with a better way to deal with copyrighted material in the digital age, it's what you've got.
