@Mr. Jesus Well that is part of the contract between buyer and seller. I have to provide a means for you to "validate" your copy if I am no longer going to provide that ability. This is something laws should provide for.

@Timcast Some faggot been talking shit about you on a stream, saying you pay girls to go live with you and getting cucked

They do it for automobile parts. If a car company goes out of business the specs and molds for replacement parts must be made available to the public so others can make the parts.

You do have escrow for bespoke stuff. I do think consumer rights is behind the curve on this.

@Mr. Jesus Probably so. That's probably because you are purchasing a license to "use" the software rather than the actual software. But the principle is the same if you are no longer able to "use" it.

copying isn't stealing, though.

@CasualSailor that works out so well that you can't even enjoy the things you paid for with DRM...

didn't you know you have to have API connection and when company goes bankrupt they no longer provide API?

so what happens to DRM content when the company goes away... Well you dont OWN SHIT

when the pirated versions are more functional than the legit versions....lol

that's correct today @Paradox

anno 2070 go try and play it with no API connection

please. ill wait..

Then play the pirated anno 2070. oh and you can pirate games if you own them.

;D

it's still legal grey area, the wont fight.

I can pirate them even if I don't.

that's why drm is retarded @Paradox

and people like @CasualSailor are the sheep

"I LOVE DRM SO MUCH I CANT EVEN PLAY THE GAME I SPENT 60 USD ON, IT's GREAT"

lulz

fuckin cloud hosting lmfao.

Yeah.. keep drinking the kool aid

ya the copyright stuff is a bit of a messy area

on one hand you got greedy's fuckers, on the other side you got other greedy fuckers and in the middle is ppl making shit that should probably make something and ppl using shit that they wouldn't normally.

lol programmers are so unedcated it is funny. their companies they work for will go bankrupt with their inability to adapt

they dont even see the open source wave coming..

it's 10x the dot com bubble

just in code not money

on the internet it's either adapt/innovate or die

"but muh cloud hosting"

i call it the free software revolution. shit u cant Stop.. @CasualSailor 😉 get used to giving your code away for free. and you CAN make money with it. i do every month..

if you can't make money dont blame a licence blame your shitty failures.

has @Paradox admitted that he was wrong yet?

'cause he is

like 120%

@Graylan | gray00 I find your claim to receive money for writing software without the software being paid for to be suspect. Perhaps you can explain where the money you receive comes from if not from those who benefit from your labor?

😮
