Wii3Kings 04/06/17 11:03:24 AM #8:	newuser0x0 posted... Why do folks think that game companies deserve special treatment? If you were a race car driver and you won a race using Hoosier tires do you think that you should have to give them a cut of your winnings? As far as letting folks see the story of a story based game, do you think that there shouldn't be public libraries where people can read just about any books for free? How about after I beat a game, do you think I shouldn't be able to tell a friend the entire story in detail if they asked me to because they don't want to play it? Lets say you throw a party and you decide to put some music on that you bought, would you go around to everyone in earshot and ask them to kick in a buck for each song so you can send that money to whoever you bought your music from? When I buy a game my obligation to a game company is complete. They created a product and I purchased it. That copy is now mine to practically do as I please with. No reason to insert your opinion about how I just bought a license to use said game, I'm not talking about reverse engineering it here. I now own a copy of game and now I feel like streaming, game company should have no say about that in any form what so ever. I would imagine that car racing is the same as any sport when it comes to agreements between participants and companies that makes equipment. Sometimes, money is involved in the agreement. Legally there is an agreement between libraries and publishing companies. Most libraries are nonprofit, publishers are able to use the agreement as a tax right-off as a donation. (There have been legal battles between publishers and authors over this). The music at a party is the same as playing a movie or video game around friends. In copyright laws this is a grey area, but hard to enforce so companies don't bother with it. However, there have been instances of sharing movies,music, video game play online that has gone to court. It is much easier for these companies to argue that it cuts into the profits they could make off their respective properties when they are mass shared. --- http://i.imgur.com/2o9xRxB.png <cite>Wii3Kings posted [p:876654362] in I Want You...
