The license for driving cars is not to protect cars manufacturers, is for protection of civil society. There is no point in such licenses for consoles 1) If the only way for Nintendo to prevent piracy is to do shaddy illegal anti consumers practices, then keep piracy going 2) It's not like the current levels of piracy is making Nintendo to bankrupt anytime soon |
Oof, those are some very weak arguments. Unfortunately, they are used all so often from pirates.
1) Who is the one doing the shady illegal things here, tell me. Are you really trying to put the blame on them?
2) It doesn't hurt them, so it's fine, right? Wrong. It's still illegal. No debate.
And for completions' sake, I'll give the last major argument right away: pirates only pirate games that they own already, of course. They have NOOOOOOO intention of stealing, sir. None at all.
We really don't need to debate that one, do we? In the case of NS2, a console that's not even out yet. There are zero reasons why you should want to pirate a game you already own. If you own it already then why not just play it right away? Why the hassle? I think it's crystal clear that this is even the weakest argument of them all.
Sorry for being very blunt about this. I just can't watch someone weasel their way into tolerating something illegal, in this case theft. Pirates grab every straw they can to justify their bad behaviors and they should be called out for that.
