yeah but the problem is when they buy and gut great franshises like plant vs zombies dragon age simcity for the casual they dont check if those are released by EA
even discounting that EA has a monopoly in sport games
want to play with oficial players too bad you need to go with EA i have seen some good soccer games but the names god the names ruined the experience
both of your examples are wrong the first one is not thievery is spionage the second i ll grant it as thievery but not for the reason you think they are depriving one seat avalaibility
and thats why by definition is thievery.
well now intangibles cant be stolen lets go on the other side a mother has two children and one acuses the other of stealing his mother love the mother has not a finite quantity of love so the acusation of stealing falls flat and thats what happens to copyright infringement right now you dont have a finite quantity of ideas so the claim of stealing again falls flat
Re: Until you clowns devise some other suite to protect efforts,
you are wrong in several points
*then more or less existing copyright is the ONLY system under which creations will be produced
this is false there had been others systems also i must say the copyright used to be the best but now is obsolete and is running contrary to its purpose
so we are hoping for a new better system
* No one is going to expend efforts if anyone can take the product and use it as theirs. You can't compete with free.
so the spriters that put their sprites in rpg maker forums and deviantart arent doing an effort? what about collaborative stories they are sharing and they dont say this is mine you cant use it
*But now the UK is going to try doing away with copyright! For more on this line see:
biased bad written and atagonistic so lets disregard it
*'Copyright "reformers" of course rarely like to talk about such unpleasant matters - and will steer the conversation away from economic consequences as rapidly as possible. Indeed, the they generally talk using Orwellian euphemisms - like "liberalising" or "rebalancing" copyright. It's rarely presented as an individual's ability to go to market being removed. This is what "copyright reform" looks like in practice.
this i will grant have a small point but the thing they shy away as any economic consequences of removing copyright are especulative
also one tend to speak of the negative in the hopes it will be fixed and i must say right now copyright law is broken and is in a need of a fix or replacement
people arent suing because the costs are insane and rather than lose thousands they rather lose hundreds
also many people already were ready for this and is not surprised (the same people already is guessing the closure of the new simcity from 2 to 5 years from now)
we need a process lets say i live in a country where is ilegal to sell pictures of cats in unnatural poses then a company in usa sells lolcats pictures via internet should those usa companies be liable?
i think they shouldnt mix laws and to be able of prosecuting those cases it must be illegal in both countries
You can compete with free if not the taxi service bottled water restaurants would have imploded a long time ago. Simply give a better service than free an you are set
you know what about the war against terrorism?

Re: Hah... As if the cockroaches ever come out when the light shines
ok let me adress this first the law will treat them differently because they have less power (being relative new) than the older copyright lobbyist
second point when are going the copyright trolls learn we dont want everything free in fact i am going to buy an original movie since it is worth it and i have only to wait a bit for a price drop but when one movie is localized and i cant get it legally then piracy sounds an attractive option also why i must pay the same of a digital copy than a physical copy (or even more)
also everybody want a fast buck even copyright maximalists ... ok especially copyright maximalists but when they stomp the public rights thats when we need to made a stand after all the founders of usa were all law breakers too
the problem is that they are complete morons those burned by diablo 3 warned them
also the comments
"this wont affect me"
"get to 2013 all people has internet"
"is not drm is a feature"
of the fanboys god i was interested at first but the always online drm killed any interest in the franchise
actualy the analogy is against licenses that limit the number of times you can install a software (if i heard correctly a game has only 3 times before it gets blocked)
well in my opinion i think the violence is not generated by videogames instead is generated by bad parenting i dont know maybe if a parent test a game before giving it to their children maybe if they researched the game before buying it and maybe if they talked with their children and get to know them then violence would go down
hmmm this is something that always bother me piracy is not theft since by definition theft is the dishonest taking of property belonging to another person with the intention of depriving the owner permanently of its possession
piracy doesnt remove the product from the owners
so piracy is not theft
basic economic facts you maximize sales lowering prices (you earn less per sale but you sell more)
price is important but not forget the quality
offer and demand too many of a product lower prices and a hight demand raises them (this is why piracy is so rampant there is an infinite suply but they arent lowering prices so they go to the next best offer)
