Re: OT: An Interesting Read About Bit-Torrents
Geo, I do not buy games. I license the software. This is clearly stated in the EULA. As this license confers the right to use the software, with the restrictions stated in the EULA, my rights of use are not, in my opinion, tied to a specific piece of medium, but the code contained on the medium. Wether I use that code when it is contained on a cd I bought or one I copied (From a cd I bought) is irrevelent to the cd manufacturer and the content creater, as long as I do not give any of the cd's containing that code away.
Plus, many EULA's specifically give the user the right to make a backup copy.
In contrast, if I buy a toy, I do not license the use of it, I buy that object, and thereafter it is my responcibility, including any breakage it suffers.
