Comment on Sony, Ubisoft scandals prompt California ban on deceptive sales of digital goods

Oh no that’s Piracy. That’s what these guys would say. They want to think you own the media but also you are not free to do what you want with it. Weird kind of ownership.

The only games you BUY now are GOG. DRM free.

You can download the installer and archive it. If GOG goes under you can still install and play it.

You buy the license to be able to view the media as many times as you wish. If I bought a copy of the Titanic on Google movies, or whatever it’s called, I’ve bought a license to view that movie for however many times I wish for as long as I wish. If Google decides to remove that movie then they need to either pay me back, or give me the right to download the movie.

As long as I don’t share that download or make a torrent of it, then it’s not piracy.
