@Star Adder, Zyxpsilon Snarky remarks in french. Btw. I'm swiss, yeah fuck you too. You'll not be laughing about this as absurd when you see your culture being locked in by the content industrial complex. And about this being an attack on the principles industrial economy, you should perceive it as attack when the content industrial complex grabs any right it can get while curbing any benefit the public enjoys. When your game stops working or your music stops playing a

What is Goo? in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Stardock introduces a new DRM called Goo. What I'm interested to hear are the things that are not in the article. How exactly is the encrpytion used? What parties are involved when a game needs to be activated? When is a game in need of a reactivation? How are illegitimate users locked out? What happens if stardock goes belly up and a game needs to be activated? What restrictions are there on activation? How would you

@Sole Soul You'll notice that I talk to you specifically if I do the @thingy or quote your posts. Also please learn to use the formating features provided to you, it would help immensely reading the otherwise unreadable blob of text. Regardless of how big a wanker I am. I don't trust anyone, and certainly not corportations. It is immaterial weather I provide any details or not. S tardock should clear the air as to what Goo exactly does , then we can talk about i

[quote who="DarthCaedusMorgan" reply="23" id="2121058"]I'm actually quite happy if this new feature comes out, I will have more accesability to my games, if one providers server is down or goes bankrupt, I can get my updates or download from another provider if its is the only one that works at the time, I see this as a major advantage for me.[/quote] Yes, kind of like house flooring tiles with asbestos in them.

[quote who="Morslok" reply="8" id="2120617"] So, I'm confused. What exactly is it that you want to happen here? Why are you arguing? Why is it better to start here with Stardock and Brad then anywhere else? What is the best case scenario for you at the end of this little debate? Is it that Stardock decides not to let publishers use GOO? If so, that would not be the best case scenario for me. If EA had used GOO on Mass Effect I would have bought it. Do you wa

[quote]For one thing, the whole "beneficial nature of works for society thing" is generally referring to artsy things, not software (and most certainly, not games).[/quote] Copyright (as of 1790) was intended for sheet music. It is neither "intended" for books, music recordings, blog posts, twitter updates, statistical data, university papers and art. etc. That does not stop it from being applied to all those, including games. And now you're arguing "oh but the publicly benefi

[quote]So the answer is to ask for the laws to be changed. Which is pretty much what I said in the first place.[/quote] I sorry that I have to break this to you, but the copyright law is created and extended by the content mafiaa. They're the ones with lobbies and they're the ones who get in on the secret trade agreements like ACTA from which the public is barred.
