Reminder the EU thinks minecraft servers are piracy now thanks to your shenanigans
>>743329564are they wrong?
Says who? Source?

>>743329564>>743329902you get what you fucking deserve (less games)
>>743329564Should have listened to PirateSoftware
>>743329564>>743329902Ah yes, the European California State Senate, their greatest lawmaking authority.
>>743329902What? What in the absolute fuck are these retards high on?
>>743330234I mean it probably is even if unintentional
>>743329902I've seen the recording, and this article is wrongThey're talking about private servers that you need to reverse engineer code to set up. Not private servers that can be accessed from within an unmodded game client.
>>743329564>EU>>743329902>CaliforniaThis is the ESA being retarded as usual btw, not the senate nor the EU. The case is open for reconsideration and the reason Gibbons got the win at all is because apparently this is the SKG guys' first foray into the US and they didn't have the time to bring all their people together.It's going to reopen later and they'll probably have a better chance then.
Make being alive illegal for corpos and suits

The EU is the reason why your mouse double clicks btw
>>743330723Japan is the reason this doesn't got replaced btw
>>743330889They got replaced IRL more than two decades ago, Anon.
>>743330934They're also not that popular in anime and manga anymore since the nostalgia for them dissipated.
>>743329902>EU>ESA
>>743330292oh okay
>>743329564Non-retarded eurobros told you guys that the EU would find a way to fuck you over. You should have listened to us, we know how evil they are from first hand experience.
Is there a more underage opinion than "abolish IP"? I guess it makes sense if you don't work or create anything.

>>743329902That's actually pretty in line with how MS has been acting in recent years with minecraft.They keep threatening big name servers like 2B2T and certain server addon developers with legal action over frivolous shit like disabling signs so people cant say racist things.They're basically trying to choke out the privately hosted server community because parents keep complaining that their kids saw racist things on a minecraft server and it's totally microsoft's fault.Once again, parents are reaping the consequences of sowing the seed of "I'll let video games raise my child", and now they're gonna make it everyone else's problem.
>>743331375There are things that should definitely not have IP rights yet do.Also, they last way too long because of disney.
>>743331434Also, they've done basically nothing about the digital casino type P2W servers while this is happening.
>ESA>EU
>>743331481>Also, they last way too long because of disney.That's more the trademark itself, but yeah, that also needs to be addressed.For anyone that doesn't know, it used to be that you'd file a patent on new tech or production methods and get X years to be the only one allowed to use that method.This was actually good because it meant companies would be pushing to come up with newer, better ways of doing things so they could capitalize on it, with it becoming public domain after a decade or two so the industry could catch up and competition could equalize, also pushing people to continue finding new and better ways of doing things.Previously there was the trade secret system where people would perpetually guard their innovations in perpetuity.The issue came about when Disney (who's most popular animations were based on public domain stories) thought they were special and shouldn't have to let their works go into the public domain, and as such started lobbying the government.Now rights extend to 70 years after the author's death, unless you're Disney, in which case you get a bunch of special exceptions.If you want to know why so many films/shows/games are just remakes/sequels of old properties, that's why, the current system incentivizes stagnation in the same way the pre-trademark system did, and the people that benefit from it most essentially exploited a better system then pulled the ladder up after they'd made it.Sad part is, Walt probably wouldn't even want that to happen, given he was a well known anti-semite.
