To the seas. How does this conflict with the digital media copyright protection acts

Luckily the EULA doesn’t apply when obtaining it through unauthorized means since the EULA would never have been accepted upon a purchase that didn’t happen. (It is though copyright infringement, but you still have more ownership over the bytes on your own disk since DRM would have been removed or neutered)

license to play or use the Software for your private, non-commercial use Does “non-commercial” mean all those people who make money by playing games on a monetized livestream, posting monetized gameplay videos, or playing e-sports for prizes are filthy pirates?

Just a reminder that this goes for the OS on the PlayStation too. You don’t really own hardware that you don’t control either*. * yeah, you do own the hardware, but if you can’t use it without a software license is it really yours?

AS A CONSUMER YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LIMITED OR CHANGED. THOSE RIGHTS TAKE PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS. So they’re saying we should write to our law making representatives and have that changed? Sounds like a fucking great idea to me.

Just a reminder the Venn diagram of the G*mers spouting the “piracy isn’t stealing” and “valve is one of the good monopolies” and “support Palworld because fuck Nintendo” is a perfect circle
