    I‘m just going to repeat myself under every post that mentions this dystopian shit:

    Everything to save the broken IP model.

        Because piracy is a service issue. A jokingly small amount of people actually pirate and they are not actual customers to the publisher/developer. Companies need to learn hat constant growth is only normal in tumors.

            IP laws should make it easy for up and coming inventors and should make it progressively harder to extract large amounts of money from „small“ inventions.

            Example: the recipe for most medicines is known and its not hard to produce these. Yet pharma companies extract billions from the sick and dying. Thats disgusting and entirely IP laws fault.

            „Service issue“ means that it is easier to pirate than to get a fair deal. Pc games you bought being considered the vendors „property“ for example is a service issue. If a company decides to steal stuff I own, I will take it back by force if necessary. They shouldnt have used dirty marketing and I dont care that they bought the law.

                Well, before you failed to see other things.

                Denuvo software is from what I hear a rather pathetic attempt at securing the revenue stream of these giant companies, taking into account massive performance loss. It also makes legitimate attempts at backing up one‘s purchased goods to keep them from being „legally disowned“.
