Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

[Thermodyne]

It is wrong, anyway you look at it. If they want to test drive it, DL the demo or try it on your system. But let’s look at both sides of the coin. The license is a contract. When the game in question is bought and paid for, then installed on your system only, you have done your part, But then you find that it is damaged and in need of repair. Then after several free patches you get to buy an upgrade which is still damaged. And after several patches there are still some problems. Does the agreement still stand? I for one feel that I should be able to return my original SE4 CD and get my money back. Or that SE4 classic should be fixed once and for all. As should Gold. It’s a two way street. With anything except software, defective merchandise is a breach of contract. Why is software different?
