You can't have it both ways.. Old or New, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you can't say the ship builder shouldn't get money, but songwriters should. There is no (legal) difference between the 2. Both made an item and both got paid when it was sold. Neither deserve to keep getting paid for it over and over.

So assuming you have a car, considering the years of enjoyment from it you will get, did you send the difference to the makers of the car since your value was higher then you paid for it?
Or did you buy something that had an inflated price and you bought it when your value for it was lower?
or did you get the EXACT value and price balanced out? Quite unlikely since you would need to calculate exactly how long you would have the car for (to the day).
So by that logic, anything sought out should be paid for. So if I want to find the population of the city of Portland, Oregon, I should pay the city itself money?
If I seek out ... well.. anything I type into google, I should pay for it. Also, not to the creator of the site, but to the person who first wrote it?
Is this seriously your stance? I look up the definition of "Black hole" and I owe money to NASA all of a sudden (or would that be websters)?
Go to another PC. Download the game/update. "Backup Game". Copy the game data to a thumb drive. Go home and copy the data. Run in offline mode. Play the game.
Why can't they offer a free extra movie rental or some such for those who opt in to being included in such plans? That way, they gain the permission of whoever provides the data and they can still make in anonymous (or at least, as well as they can).
I have. The maker of the adult game Onyx is all for DRM (having met him before). I tried to explain to him how this is not a valid viewpoint in todays economy, but was not budging from his stance, claiming that piracy is destroying the game makers.
Hrm... I talked to him a year ago and perhaps he changed his mind as it now appears to be free. Go figure.
Am I the only one who thinks his answers are pretty funny and cool? I mean, he manages to evade such a simple question without lying. You have to give a guy like that props. :)

Price = What someone will pay for it.
I recently bought a game for $100. A board game that's been out of print for 10 years or so.
The Price was $100. It's what the seller felt was a fair offer (and it was).
The Value was around $300 for me. It's what I would've paid for the game in that condition.
