We have no one to blame but ourselves.... Ok maybe just the people that keep ripping off games. I for one buy them. |

^ Technically thats what all software licenses say...minus of course open sourced ones. Technically you dont own your own consoles and a few other devices as well. Some phones dont apply because their under different laws.
Whats also interesting is blizzard offers bounties to people that turn in others with cracked games or that have hacked em. (And blizzard has enough man power to track people down and then proceed to sue the **** out of them...) Did that to some folks that cracked SC2 and distributed it. |

Lol you can't ever justify piracy....especially for a video game. If you want to send them a message don't buy it/play it at all. Piracy shows there is a demand for it, and you're just to cheap to buy it.
Lol some twisted moral crusade over video games...and "The corporations man!" This isn't stealing food for your family here folks. No such thing as video game starved children in Africa. |

^ Oh totally agree. While I don't agree with piracy I also think the laws concerning electronics and software are BS... Especially the hardware ones or physical copies of software.
No where else will you find such control measures. Wanna sell your car...You can but ford gets to make it so your steering wheel doesn't work for the next guy until you pay them. Not the original owner of that house...? The builder gets apart of that resale money too.
Ridiculous. The arguments against second hand sales are silly as well. Takes away markets etc. I'd like to point out there can't be a second hand market without an original sale...
Damn I could rant all day about DRM controlling second hand sales, or ownership of hardware. |
