My favorite subplot in disco elysium

Ask Lopez what he thinks

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

First sale doctrine applied because the license is tied to the physical media.

If you were to make a copy of your DVD and then sell the physical media on to someone else- that’s always been considered piracy In the eyes of the law.

I’m not making value statements on what’s right and wrong here; I just want to clear up some of the misconceptions around how we currently talk about it.

My personal belief is that digital licenses should be transferrable just like physical ones, and that any company that wants to offer DRM such that a license key becomes invalid shall allow a license key to be transferred to another user without restriction.

On a deeper level, the US needs a rethink on the laws surrounding software and copyright, balancing two truths: digital content creators need to make money; and buying a license or right to use any form of digital media IS ownership, and should come with all the same protections as, e.g., buying a physical book.

You’ve never owned games. You’ve always owned a license to run a game. The license used to be tied to a piece of physical media. Now it’s not. But the underlying legal model never changed.

If someone is so socially inept and surrounded by equally socially inept people who don’t call out this behavior, then it’s possible they don’t have anyone who is part of society at large that would inform them of how their actions will be perceived by most members of the public.

I’m not commenting because it hurts me in any way. I’m commenting because this person is going to have a relatively difficult life socially if they continue with the behavior they currently exhibit.

Referring to yourself in the third person is cringe as fuck

Ass pennies?

They’re competing against games like Hollow Knight which offer 40+ hours of content for less money.
