I've no love for cheat software or its users, but the legal theory in some of the suits against them is very concerning to me.
The theory is that modifying running software _on your own machine_ (i.e., not interfering with host servers), constitutes a derivative work, and thus infringes copyright.
As I read that, it implies that you could be held liable for infringement if you modify running software for _any_ purpose. Does that not sound nuts?
