I know they allow some linience in your laws as you can borrow a movie to a friend or neighbour but you are not allowed to make your own copies of a movie and games if it doesn´t say so specificly in the user agreement. Thats the biggest differnece between our and your laws and the fact that in theory your laws seem to restrict you more but that can be attributed to the harsh wording as you say.

 YES YOU CAN! Fair Use allows you to make a back-up of any media you buy for personal use only. It has been a huge controversy with the various forms of data encryption and is why there has been no large scale crack down on circumventing it. The Fair Use laws are critical to understanding US copyright law and I am certain now you were not informed on them.

I do know about them and I also do know about the persons being prosucuted in cases that should have been protected under that law bet weren´t.

Anyway I responded to the letter you sent me and I think we both agree to just let it go.

 Agreed, but we are on the cusp of being exactly on topic I must point out. The essential problem comes from developers attempting to protect themselves with laws that may or may not exist and use misconceptions of the public at large to scare them in-line. I really cannot stand that, and by extention DRM which evolved from the overly aggressive eulas that are found everywhere in the gaming world. I like the Steam method the best despite the bitter taste it leaves in my mouth for personal reasons.

Hah, nope. It`s forbidden only for commercial purpose. :P

4) adaptation, arrangement, dramatisation or other transformation of a work;
5) distribution of the original or copies of a work to the public by sale, rental, lending, or by any other transfer of ownership or possession, as well as by exporting and importing;

Are you sure I am wrong? Seems like that is exact proof that I am right. Thank you so much for providing it.

It has rights, yes. =))

But there is NO administrative responsibility for:
distribution of the original or copies of a work to the public, lending, or by any other transfer of ownership or possession, as well as by exporting and importing;

Only if you do all that for commercial purpose. =)

You need to buy 2 copies of Spore if you want to play at the same time as your sister/brother/father/lover/etc. Don't tell me people in the same household shouldn't be able to play a game simultaneously.

That's the problem with that DRM. It's a huge restriction for the average consumer while the average pirate has been playing the games for a week now.

 Cute attempt to use a language I don't understand to prove your point, but you already lost that point. 5) distribution of the original or copies of a work to the public by sale, rental, lending, or by any other transfer of ownership or possession, as well as by exporting and importing; Those are non-commercial uses covered by the law. Clearly it is not intended only for commercial use, but also for private. You didn't expect me to read the document and it bit you in the ass. Move on.
