This petition is part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign led by Scott Ross, to end in Australia the practice of software licensors to render purchased software completely unusable at arbitrary points in time.
This petition closes relatively soon so please get the word out to your fellow mates.
Thank you!
It is only right that if a publisher wants to reap the immediate benefit of selling something digitally that they should then be responsible for maintaining owners access to that digital content. If they don't want to maintain it, release it on physical medium with offline play and eat that cost. No worthwhile product ships for free.
Or just no drm
A petition for folks who live with me in the Great White North (Canada): www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?P…
For my Commonwealth mates across the other pond (UK): petition.parliament.uk/petitions/659071/
Luckily these two petitions are a little more lenient on the deadlines than the Aussie one.
Is this the one that was posted a week ago? Or is it a different one?
Yeah it likely is. For whatever reason it’s only open for a handful of weeks so I’m trying to remind anyone that hasn’t signed but wanted to or told their friends about it before it closes.
Same one
Oh Damn I didn’t see this Will delete my repost. Glad to see someone already shared it here.
@Gamers_Mate @Rentlar no don't delete it! It's an important issue and more people should be able to see it!
Do we own what we buy or do we just rent everything until someone decides to take it from us?
