>>530423730All started when that smear campaign by the ADL failed
>>530423730The music industry is such a fucking cancer
OI YA GOT A LOICENCE FOR DAT LOICENCE!?
OI U GOT A PATTERN RECOGNITION LOISCENCE?
>>530423730Wait, the game developers already licensed the music to put it in their game, but now a retailer who sells the game also needs to license that very same music a second time?
>>530423730i normally don't give a fuck about big companies getting in legal battles but this is so retarded it hurts
>>530423735>>530423736
The corpos hate Gabe because he never took the company public and is a monument to "make good product and you will be enriched" which goes against their "line can only go up, the shareholder is God" mentality
>>530423730So does every other digital store have that license in the UK? It should be a law that if you sue a company for something, you have to sue all companies who are engaged in the behavior, otherwise your suit is dismissed with prejudice for rent-seeking.
Time to sue GameStop, Target, Walmart, Staples, Best Buy, Ubisoft, EA, Epic Games as well... right?What other criminal organizations are illegally selling copyrighted music through Trojan horse video games?
>>530423737PRS has literally sued people for singing their music.
>>530423732>jews jewing jewswho cares
why did they do it? you control the buttons you pressheated jew moment
>>530423730
For people who don't know how insane these people are>In 2007, PRS for Music took a Scottish car servicing company to court because the employees were allegedly "listening to the radio at work, allowing the music to be 'heard by colleagues and customers'". In June 2008, PRS for Music accused Lancashire Constabulary of playing music at police stations not covered by a license, and sought an injunction and payments for damages.> In one case it told a 61-year-old mechanic that he would have to pay £150 to play his radio while he worked by himself It also targeted a bakery that played a radio in a private room at the back of the shop,a woman who used a classical radio to calm her horses and community centres that allowed children to sing carols in public.>In October 2009, PRS for Music apologised to a 56-year-old shelf-stacker at a village in Clackmannanshire for pursuing her for singing to herself while stacking shelves. PRS for Music initially told her that she would be prosecuted and fined thousands of pounds if she continued to sing without a "live performance" licence. However PRS for Music subsequently acknowledged its mistake
>>530423730I think in the case they were just smelling the blood in the water and suing. They're probably not related. but the new york and washington lawsuits? Absolutely.
>>530423747But do they actually win these lawsuits?
>>530423747How do they even find these cases? Do they just have a network of randos that look for this kind of shit?
Leigh Rothschild has nothing to do with the banking family, it’s just a name.
mfs will complain about year 19 of no half-life 3 then go “nooooo don’t sue valve they’re so heckin consumer-friendly”
>>530423752Didn't know Valve's devs were also lawyers
>>530423730does gamestop need the same license just to sell games that feature this music?
>>530423741UK doesn't understand digital goods in generalDid you know they're trying to make it illegal to watch Netflix or Youtube without paying for a TV licence? Even though the BBC has literally nothing to do with netflix/youtube and they're completely separate entities in a completely separate format to TV?Absolutely disgustingly jewish nation
>>530423749It's not about winning, it's about making the other pay to not lose
>>530423737And you should also buy the license before playing the game too goy
>>530423742GoG? Uh all those key distribution sites. Pirate bay? Steam unlocked com
>>530423730Surely they filed the same suit in every digital storefront right?
UK is going to be a sharia law country soon anyway, music will just be straight up banned.
>>530423756All that does is enrich lawyers though?
>>530423737The PRS are litigious retards who would sue randoms for having their radio be in possible earshot of another person, singing without a loicense, humming without a loicense, etc.
>>530423761please refer to >>530423746
Yeah, it's called lawfare.
>>530423761Maybe everyone should study law for personal use
>>530423747And I thought the states were silly
>>530423765Yes. Ignorance is no excuse for the law/ignorantia juris non excusat is real.
>>530423737No, this lawsuit is going to get thrown away in court. The necessary licenses were already paid for.
>>530423744Jews do
>>530423753If you separate a company from it's lawyers you are a retard. Who do you think is paying these people?
>>530423730Did epic get a loicense for that music for GTAV?
>>530423730Gaben might be stronger and more powerful than any elite.Maybe Gaben is the true King of Mankind.
>>530423730what is the point of endless nooticing if you don't do anything about it
Is corporate law the most boring side of the justice system or what?
>>530423730I hope Valve counter sues these faggots
>>530423730They really are disgusting
Is this why there are constantly new threads defaming Valve and Gaben now?
>>530423777no, those were quite common even before the rotschild thing
Sir, another lawsuit has hit the Gaben Towers.
Wait, if im reading this correctly, you can't even use any licensed music as a ringtone?
>>530423730They should just immediately delist all offending product and say "What games?" And have Microsoft , EA, and Take Two deal with them
>>530423777No those are from a few autists who seethe daily at Valve existing
>>530423737PRS tried to sue a woman for singing to herself while stocking shelves in a store for not having a license for live performances. They are a supervillain organization.
>>530423747mega jewish
>>530423730>Win against Rothschild in a legal battleQRD
>>530423785They got awarded a patent on streaming data between a server and a client, and then pressured Valve into licensing this technology (or else be sued) back in 2015. A few years back, one of Rothschild's shell companies claimed that Valve was violating this very same patent and demanded they license it (again). Valve's lawyers noticed they already had a license for this tech, countersued, had it revealed the shell company was in fact controlled by Rothschild in an obvious double-dipping scheme, and he was found legally liable (with a financial penalty) for abusing the patent system.
>>530423740>The corpos hate Gabe because he never took the company public and is a monument to "make good product and you will be enriched" which goes against their "line can only go up, the shareholder is God" mentalityFucking This. Shareholders are cancer.
You think that's baffling? You should read what ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) tried to do:>ASCAP has drawn negative attention for attempting to enforce licensing fees when songs are used in informal occasions such as campfire singing and open mic nights.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_of_Composers,_Authors_and_PublishersAnd if you think things couldn't get worse, you should read what Access Copyright attempted in Universities:>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Copyright
>>530423730They shouldn't even dignify this retarded suit with a response.
>>530423788>In 2012, Access Copyright started charging universities for e-mailing links to copyrighted information, even in cases where there was no copyrighted material present. They charge a full price for each link e-mailed.
>>530423783>PRS tried to sue a woman for singing to herself while stocking shelves in a store for not having a license for live performancesLooL its fuckin true!!!Whats with the Bongs and their holly license?Yes, this incident occurred in October 2009 in Scotland. The Performing Right Society (PRS) for Music targeted a 56-year-old shop worker named Mrs. Burt for singing to herself while stacking shelves in a village store. Key Details of the Case:The Accusation: The shop owner was initially told a license was required to play the radio. After the owner removed the radio to avoid the fee, the employee, Mrs. Burt, continued to sing to herself to keep her spirits up while working.The Threat: PRS told the shop that Mrs. Burt's singing constituted a "live performance" and threatened her with potential fines of thousands of pounds for not having a public performance licence.The Response: The story generated significant public ridicule and "furore."The Outcome: PRS apologized, admitting they made a "big mistake." They sent a letter of apology and a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Burt, wishing her luck and acknowledging she had a "lovely singing voice". This incident was part of a broader, aggressive campaign by PRS at the time to enforce licensing on small businesses, including cases where they sought fees for playing radio in the background or for playing music for horses.
>>530423790>They charge a full price for each link e-mailed
>>530423744More like: >Jews want to acquire a private company just to siphon all money out of it via shareholders.
>>530423730Why are there so many assholes in the world who want to sue each other over the dumbest shit possible
>>530423794MoneyIt's always about money
>>530423734>>530423730Fuck the music industry and kikes. I've been watching top gear and am amazed by how many american songs from movies and popular media they utilized in the show without repercussions across the pond.Their only claim is that UK copyright law says that platforms have to pay the troll toll too, not just publishers. Pretty sure this court case is a waste of fucking time that will go nowhere. The worst that will happen is the music will be removed for britbong players.
>>530423740This. Honestly protect steam, it’s a monument of shareholder primacy being a massive failure.
>>530423794>in the worldEvery single lawsuit brought against Valve in the last year has originated from the UK. It's almost at the point Valve could just cut bongistan off from their services entirely to avoid 50 frivolous lawsuits per year and save money.
>>530423788>In the 1990s, ASCAP warned a summer camps that they needed licenses if campers sang copyrighted songs around the campfire and in groups. This included songs like Puff, the Magic Dragonhttps://www.deseret.com/1996/12/26/19284956/songwriters-group-are-crooning-a-rhapsody-in-blue/the fuck is happening? I was born in 2002! I don't no nuffin
>>530423777mfs on /v/ shamelessly glaze steam now lol
>>530423737>>530423743>>530423783>>530423788That's what happens when jews have a big fat chokehold on the music industry and everything surrounding it, and were allowed to make music an industry they fully control in the first place. Please think of the poor multi-million artists behind the multi-billion corporations, they are losing so much money if someone illegally sings a song and a couple of kids hear it round a campfire instead of streaming it from their spotify premium accounts!!!!
>>530423791so true LLM!
>>530423800>nowI didn't know it was 2010?
You steamies only have the ability to get refunds cause of a legal battle against steam by the government You tards would defend Valve not allowing refunds cause you are that much of a cultist, not everything they do is good
>>734709973Luigi was pro-capitalist. No better than the man he killed.
>>530423730why did the mods move that from /v/? /pol/ is a tranny and /r9k/ spam board now pretty much dead too
why was this moved to >>>/pol/ ???
>>530423730Yeah, digital licensing will be hell when every country will have it's own copyright office.Who made US the president of all human brain output?
>>530423934>he's never met anyone from /v/The pot is a nigger, Leaf.
>>530424045>pretend everyone who's not a tranny is a /pol/tard I can see your point
>>530423734Its their property, valve isn't entitled to use it for free
wtf this board is gay and jewish, move it back.
>>530423934>>530424013So that we could laugh at you.
So is /pol/ pro Iran or pro Israel?
>>530423730Why would a distribution platform be required to hold a license for games that they neither developed, nor published?Now, if there was a copyright claim against a developer for not having procured the proper license, they would simply submit the claim to the developer to take the title down, or even with Steam to take it off of their service.This seems about as baseless as baseless lawsuits can get.
>>530423749Its not about winning - its about making fighting back in court so unbelievably expensive that most people just settle.Same thing with the copyright troll who sued Valve. Valve actually has significant financial and legal weight to throw around, so they actually saw the case through. Kinda a retarded decision by that copyright troll.
>>530423737jews are fucking evil and minions of Satan
>>530424185>we aren you buzzy peddling HRT to kids on matrix or root? or whatever
Wow, once cancerous greedy corporation suing another? How terrible.
>>530423777Valve does suck but it could be a lot worse.SKG will force Valve to be a bit better though, I think. But they still haven't made a good game in over a decade
>>530424127Who is using what for free?
>>530423730>replace all licensed music in games with an empty folder named "mp3">games cheaper>problem solved
>>530424127Valve didnt.If rockstar put it in their gta game, valve has no decision on that.Steam is a market.Its up to rockstar to make sure they have the licences.
>>530424205Saruman is wise, listen to him.
>>530423730Pretty sure dmca protects against exactly this kind of things. It'll get dismissed.
>>530424090>pretendWhat.That's not what "they infest every board" means. Check your "generals" for examples.
>>530424205You faggots always forget the third option.
>>530424205Is this a trick question? This is an anti globohomo board that stands against.. quite a lot of things, but especially Israel and Ukraine.Lots of astroturfing by shills and tourists though.
>>530424289I don't speak tranny so your zigger flew over my head.
>>530424364>Steam is a market A market isnt something you can own. Steam is a service and they are profiting from abusing other people's property rights.
>>530424310>SKG will force Valve to be a bit better What do you think SKG is about? It has essentially no relation to Valve, they support custom servers and community support in like every one of their games.
>>530424205we are pro russia, china, north korea, iran
>>530424528Basically, with how Steam is worded you don't actually own your games, just licenses. This might trickle down to that and make it so you can actually own them and they might force remove DRM from some games too.
>>530423756If someone sues you and you win, they should have to pay your legal fees.This simple rule change would cut alot of this shit out.Its absolutely absurd that they can waste absurd ammounts of your money on a bullshit lawsuit that they know they wont even win.
>>530424417welp
>>530423737Hey goy, shut the fuck up
>>530423747Aaaaahhhhhhh!AYYS!!!How the fuck can anyone charge you for listening to music you have already presumably paid for, or is being broadcasted over open air? Presumably with the legal ability to do so?
>>530424492>Steam>marketQuite a stretch beyond that considering they hardly sell physical products. In fact most of their money comes from shit that outright doesn't exist and transaction tax on money spent on things that don't exist.Taking a cut from game sales only plays a minor role.
>>530424665>might force remove DRM from some games too.That type of DRM is implemented by third parties so it would affect them
>>530424683>If someone sues you and you win, they should have to pay your legal fees.>sue big company because they poisoned your kid or something>big company throws 10 million worth of lawyers on it while you have one lawyer and spend maybe 20k on legal fees>loseNah.
>>530424492Oy vey now the israeli cares about "property rights"
>>530424847Steam also has its own DRMThis might lead to a good trickle down is my point, they might even let you actually own your games. Literally the only reason GoG is competition is because they let you download launchers. If Steam let you do that and actually own your games GoG would basically die overnight
>>530424492>abusing other people’s property rightsNo one is forcing game devs and pubs to sign up with Steam. Steam is not the only digital distributor. Don’t like their terms? Fuck off and go to another service.
>>530423737Welcome to our humble abode, have you been informed about the jews?
>>530424789Jews, anon.Jews.They bend the legal system to their very whim.Like Avatar - lawbenders.
>>530424862If a company poisions your kidYou should be doing something way more extreme than sueing them.
>>530424205/pol/ stands with whoever fights for God. And in this war that is the brave mujahedeen of Iran and its regional partners.
Also there's another Khomissar missile headed for Tel Aviv
>>530423730Lol, just make all the games remove any british music.Like, replace the file...
>>530424013What board was this even from originally?
>>530424941That's always a possibility I supposeOn the flip side Steam DRM is basically a sign saying "please don't pirate" with how weak it is.Either way a middle finger to always online shit that needs a central server is good in my books.
>>530425048Allah clearly stands with israel.
>>530425211Yeah. I'm critical of Valve because I know they could do better, but I also recognize they could be much, much worse.When Gabe dies I wager the company is completely screwed though.
>>530425259Revelation 2:9Zionists are satanists.
>>530425171I think farther up they said it was from /v/. Not surprising, their jannies are some of the worst about deleting or moving any threads that challenge the current thing or government/corporate intrusion into, and subversion of, video games and technology.
>>530425305Oh no doubtI generally like Valve but they aren't saints either.And if something like SKG force the to make changes that benefit customers I'm all for it.
>>530425171>>>/v/734703648/
>>530425305There was a point in the mid 2000s to approx 2010 or so where valve was kinda slimy. It seems they realized they managed to get a stable foothold as "the place to buy games", and decided they could actually start doing things pro-consumer instead of fighting tooth-and-nail for the last dollar.Gabe probably mellowed out as he aged.
I find it interesting that Letitia James brought the lawsuit.I see nobody has mentioned Letitia James yet itt.Very familiar name
>>530425305>they could be much, much worse.How so? But maybe I simply underestimate the retardation of modern gaymers.Perfect example that the idea of a free market is a load of bullshit because it presupposes that buyers make intelligent and well informed decisions.
>>530423749This is true for all of these scam lawsuits, any real country would throw these people in jail for years + confiscate all their shit, but the jewish legal system is specifically used by the state to punish badthink so that would just backfire on them.Reminder that ALL of this is an extension of state power and they keep it around so they can sue your business for saying nigger and not marrying gays. They need to be able to make BS lawsuits with no consequences or they can't enforce their power (gun control, gay shit, nigger shit, diversity equity inclusion ect.)
>>530424492They are a marketplace. Does any brick and mortar store have to pay music loicences from all over the world, because they sell GTA on their shelves? That's how frivolous this shit is.
>>530423730Stay strong GabeN
>>530425526Valve is still a bit slimy right now. Like having their official stance be that you don't actually own your games. Or the fact they push micro transactions and lootboxes in all of their games.But they are way less slimy than the alternatives. GoG is alright but they have their own problems and fell for the DEI stuff even harder.
>>530424977Every time? Really?
>>530424977I hope they listen this time. You think with everything that has come to light recently in the world, they would at least consider the possibility.
>>530423730End service in UK
>>530423747this is a comedy sketch right?
>>530425591This. The process is the punishment, so they can maintain the façade that the system works after they eventually throw it out, after they've drained the wealth of their targets.
>>530425732Agreed. They've made massive improvements, and compared to most of the other "big names" are fucking saints, but they could do better.SKG's goals could definately help out there. I'm not sure "no DRM at all" is a viable solution - but maybe something like "after 5 years of a game being sold, the DRM disabling hashkeys get released, or "mandatory noDRM patches after 5 years"
>>530424492Kill yourself
>>530423730NYS and Commiefornia's lawsuits over CS2 lootboxes are much more important
>>530423730This is just the British trying to tax Valve for being good at business. Poor Gabe got too rich and now they coming after him.
>>530423730Based Steam master raceNot Jew or Chink owned. Just fat nerd with fuck you money owned. Gaben is like Notch the king.
>>530423730I hope PRS wins. Gabe Newell is a scammer and belongs in federal prison for fraud.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>530423730They offer an alternative in the tech market right now too. Just before they released their alternative tech too the prices go to shit.I'm noticing as well. And shit is stacked against the little man and well meaning companies.
>>530423747holy shit, it's governmental overreach>like being forced to allow soldiers stay at your fucking housethat we rebelled against
>>530426206>Artifactlike that turn based city building thing?
>>530425991>"mandatory noDRM patches after 5 years"This is what I hope for personally but I think it is a little too optimistic. Valve doesn't want to make too much waves I'm sure.
Remember how Sony tried to force Helldivers 2 on to their PSN / PS Network accountsAnd the green-haired community manager said "it's so we can ban people"You can say Kike and Nigger, the HD2 game chat is completely uncensored.
>>530426138create something, then let other people just take it from you and make money from it
>>530423730I've seen a few of these ankle-biter lawsuits since the Rothschilds one failed. They're all UK for the most part. Valve should just close operations there. It's basically illegal to have fun anyway, so they might as well cut their losses with that customer base.
>>530426365
>>530426412they only play FEE-FAH in the UK anyway.
>>530423751this, you people are fucking halfwits
The games themselves have the licenses. They made agreements with valve to distribute their product. If the argument is that distribution breaches some licencing term it seems to me that if there were a breach in licensing contract then the responsible party would be be the devs responsible for selling distribution rights when they only have a license and don't themselves own the music. OP is obviously correct and it's just some bullshit pretense to go after valve.
>Valve are just the final American company which realizes if you don't piss off your customers on purpose for literally no reason, you can buy as many yachts as you want. You can even buy the ship yard.Epic Games is garbageEA Origin is deadtheir tech support is AI chat.
Or i guess more accurately not the devs, but the publisher.
>>530423730lol this is the definition of a frivolous lawsuit. How is a gamestore responsible for the music within the games in any way?
>>530426412>They're all UK for the most partLOLMAO
>>530426469Would a facial scan work? I’m 38 but people say that I look 17
>>530423780licensed music can only be used within the specific context of the license paid for.You DID purchase a license, right?

>>530425380Allah clearly disagrees

>>530423740Youngfags forget Gabe pioneered client based gaming and drm
>>530426658>lol this is the definition of a frivolous lawsuit. How is a gamestore responsible for the music within the games in any way?this, obviously.
>>530424972Yeah, Epic will subsidize the shit out of you for going exclusive to them to the extent that your game doesn't even need to sell to at least break even.Oddly, even with this safety net, game devs see Steam as the preferable choice.
