Gooday Ron. Long time no chat :)
  I think that as sim racing online grows that the likes of Papy will seek legal ways to
supress anyone from making such utilities available. I think that legally it could be
viewed as some type of industrial sabotage. If you think about it, the future of sim
racing as a serious sport depends on such a situation coming to be. I look forward to
watching how this developes over the years. My prediction is that the Papys of the world,
and the law, will have no choice but to act.
