Yep could easily turn coat and sell to highest bidder.

That’s why he’s in a prison hospital instead. I think they are called psyche wards or mental institutes in some places.

Legit question, no? You are suggesting places should be closed because it’s a national holiday, so when it’s their cultural holiday they have to be open so you can go shop since it’s not a national holiday?

It’s hypocritical. Thats a hostile reponse.

They should be allowed to choose to be open because it’s a free market.

Your exceptions are strange, they should be allowed to be closed too, if that’s truly how you feel that it should be. It’s a national holiday after all.

That’s how it works already, Chinese culture doesn’t care about Christmas, they make great money being open for their culture and others that don’t celebrate Christmas and want a normal day.

So fuck the other places that would need to stay open during their holidays than?

Uhh… what do you think the notice is telling you…? That’s it’s not a legal copy. Now you can’t claim you didn’t know… this is literally a legally accepted measure to remove that entire defense that you didn’t know. It’s hilarious you comprehend that, but don’t see how this notifies you of it being illegal! It’s along the same veins of reselling a book without its cover and the notice telling you. Of course it’s legal and accepted to remove your ignorance defense. Ignorance has never been a defense and this would be no different.

And yeah people have been arrested for those before, of course I haven’t personally seen it. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Doesn’t matter how you acquired the key, it’s still a pirated copy.

Do you think buying a stolen car or phone changes that it’s still stolen? Plenty of places also have laws against buying or keeping knowingly stolen items. So even just being informed and you continuing to keep it can now be used against you as well.

Do you really think this is a contract or agreement of legal enforceability? Holy hell.

If they actually used this for that reason it would be to merely remove your defense of saying you didn’t know you bought a pirated copy. They don’t even need you to agree to it, a splash screen would be enough.

And you said you acknowledged it was pirated, doesn’t matter where you got it from……

Can’t say you didn’t know the key was pirated when you bought it off kijiji if there’s this warning.

It removes a potential defence, it’s not for them to admit any evidence, it’s to destroy your rebuttals.

If those games had demos would you still pirate the full game to only play a small portion?

Too bad they don’t see the hypocrisy of them doing the same with tax loopholes.

There will also be people who abuse it for nefarious means as well. Even if purchasing is easy.

They of course use these 2% to justify vilifying the rest though.

Big brain move, getting you to acknowledge that you’re pirating for when the lawsuit comes.

More people need to accept that piracy helps sales in the end, not take sales.
