| Mnementh said: Basically they argue, the judges have ruled, that Oracle (in this case) cannot forbid the resale of their software-download. But they didn't forbid entangling software with a account (like Steam or itunes) or with the hardware. That wasn't part of the ruling. A different case would be needed, to open up Steam. |
IMO they do, steam and Itunes provide other services beside DRM and if they want they would be able to limit or block them(i.e. disterbution etc) for resaled copies(unless I buy a pass), but as it is if I want to sell my game to a friends, steam are not allowed to block it, they have to trasnfer the game to his account...
