    Devil’s advocate: you obviously own the physical media that constitutes the book, but do you really “own” the contents of the book if you’re not allowed by law to make a million copies of it and sell them?

      Who gives a fucking shit about this nonsense? I just want games I paid for to work after the developer stops supporting them.

      Maybe you don’t, because you’re a moron.

        I don’t think you should be calling other people “moron” if you don’t understand the phrase “devil’s advocate”.

          First off, I only called them a moron on a condition, and I stand by my assessment.

          Second, playing devil’s advocate is meant to enhance discussion. What they’re doing is muddying the discourse and playing into the hands of copyright-holders. It’s very close to the “just asking question” bullshit that’s so prevalent recently.
