I said allmost all there are a few that have harsh laws but basicly they are not even close to yours, i´ve read the text in the games and they are riddicioulous. I am sure that you think they are reasnoable since you lived with it your whole life but for me that has lived without them my whole life I find them ridicioulous, insulting and very intrusive.

Germany has way harsher laws than the US as an example. I don't find them ok because I have lived with them my whole life. I find them ok because I think developers should be paid for their work. Creating a copy of a game and giving it to a friend is terrible. You are rewarding someone for creating a game you enjoy by denying them a sale. That is messed up.
Also, you don't learn as much about the enforceability and questionable legality of eulas as I have by simply obeying them. Most eulas are actually illegal and thus unenforceable in the US. They over step their bounds and invalidate the entire contract by attempting to set restrictions they are not allowed to or failing to follow the rules needed to make them legal. Don't think that what they put there simply means it is suddenly legally binding. The fact that you have to agree to a contract you can't read to buy the game puts extremely heavy limitations on what you can put in the contract and still have it be legally binding.

Well it´s within your right to care more about a companies right to make more money then your own right to do what you want with a property you bought and own. Your laws (germany and france those are the major countries that are harsh) about a bought game are very similar to the rights you have to rentals here.
You just have to accept that your way isn´t nececary the right way (neither is ours) and your laws aren´t the final word other then your country. We have laws that protect our right to own what we bought and you have to accept that.
Maybe in the future we will get your kind of laws or you will get ours but untill then acceptanc of eachothers difference is the only key.
Didn´t want to start a disscusion but I thought that if you were aware of the difference in your countries then maybe this wouldn´t get out of hand which I am afraid it will.

Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?
