  Indeed.
  It's not a bug, it's a feature.

  Ya, I'm OK with ISDS.

  
  Don't be.
  Secretive councils made up of lawyers with no appeal or review mechanism is not a good thing.

  I vastly prefer the XKCD take on DRM

  on Software Company Asks Users For Input On DRM; Goes Ahead And Institutes It Anyway Over Their Objections
  https://xkcd.com/488/
  

  But if you buy DRM-locked media, and you ever switch operating systems or new technology comes along, your collection could be lost.
  And if you try to keep it, you'll be a criminal (DMCA 1201).
  So remember: if you want a collection you can count on, PIRATE IT.
  Hey, you'll be a criminal either way.

  Out or random curiosity, what's your opinion(s) on GG Vs. Anti-GG? One of GG main focuses is ethics in journalism so I figured I'd might as well ask.

  
  Don't do it, just don't.
  There is too much FUD around GG for anyone to have a reasonable discussion about it.
