So my purchase that establishes thier IP, and makes it stand out from others, comes second. Okay. My purchase doesn't matter, so I guess me pirating doesn't matter then.
1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.
THE ANSWER WAS NO.
The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.
The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have
1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.
And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.
Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.
If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
I support, actually would welcome the idea.
Issue is something like this is a monumental scale construction and engineering. And we can't even maintain our own water network... where the maintenance of a reactor is a top national security feat.
But again, I welcome the idea.
🚨Jamaica pays US$0.29 per kWh for electricity, nearly 5× what our neighbours in Trinidad pay, and 172% above the global average.
Now the Prime Minister is saying a nuclear reactor may be part of the answer.
Before you scroll past: this matters for your light bill, your business, and Jamaica's economic future.
Yo creo que lo que menos se esperaban esos agentes de la Policía era que había una cámara justo en la escena que el delincuente bota el arma, levanta las manos y se rinde...
@jahmekyagyal The battery is actual Garbage, and if you don't do their follow up battery checks, they will weasel their way out of the warrantee.
What's that you ask? You gotta go to them, every 90 (?) Days to check the battery health.
Andrew Esquire’s breakdown of the Bricks & Minifigs bodycam footage is eye-opening. Police are seen shielding the store owner from being served lawsuit papers while he calls them “fake” without even looking.
This is a clear misuse of power. Service of process exists to give notice. You don’t get to dodge it by claiming fraud on sight, and officers shouldn’t help you avoid it.
Normally police stay out of civil disputes. Here they’re actively enabling one side in a major LEGO collection dispute.
What’s really going on in Utah?
