The short version is, please don't ever represent yourself in court.
Your license allows you to copy/install/etc. a piece of software. It will not apply to a cracked version of the game and you'll be no different than someone who didn't buy the game.
That's not even DCMA.
And the whole thing about "white-room private blah blah blah" really made me cringe.
It's a complete non-sequitur. 3rd part private servers have existed for ages and they involve insane amounts of work per game. It's not a solution to the actual problem: not being able to use official servers.
Not to mention "white room reimplemented" is nearly impossible. That's why these projects repeatedly get taken down. They resort to breaking copyright to provide functionality for a client that was never designed for.
Even modifying the game to have a concept of "connect to a server other than official.server.endpoint" is breaking copyright.
