Consumers aren't making copies of their software when they use a No-CD crack. They are infact engineering the game. You still have the right and ability to copy the game... it's just not going to do you much good. If you have a problem with that, the way to deal with it is legally. Through either boycotts, campaigns etc. Don't fool yourself in thinking your doing someting noble, by committing an illegal act in anonymity that has little to no risk to you and holds no benefit to anyone but yourself. You're actually doing quite the opposite by being selfish and breaking the law instead of actually standing up and trying to reclaim consumer rights. So yeah, I have a problem with people who would rather break the law then take up a principled stance against the companies to get rid of such measures... since your nothing more then an accomplice to the comsumers rights being defato eliminated. That right has long sailed... primarly due to people like YOU who perfer the easy way out. |
It's people like YOU who drink the Steam koolaid that have destroyed the concept of ownership in the PC gaming realm. If people like YOU do the same to console gaming and we're not able to buy second-hand or rent anymore, it'll be a sad day for console gaming.
At the end of the day you have to look out for number one (and if that means committing illegal acts, so be it. Many great people in history have committed illegal acts to take a stand. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean that it isn't the right thing to do). Not look out for game publishers that tell gamers to bend over and take it.
You'd rather kiss up to Valve (oh please Gabe, take away my consumer rights!) instead of fight for your consumer rights. Who is the real accomplice to consumer rights being eliminated?
