Comment on Sony, Ubisoft scandals lead to California ban on deceptive digital goods salesparent

why are you using Oracle for video games? what's wrong with you?

Because my previous project used it. It's an example. There are plenty of others. And I think this sort of attitude is unfair towards people like me who genuinely want to preserve video games, but are concerned that an ideological battle is going to negatively affect the industry.

Licensed audio is licensed in such a way that once a copy is sold the license allows the use of that copy in perpetuity.

Licensed audio can be licensed in such a way. GTA being a great example of something that doesn't have perpetual licenses to their music.

Coming up with a different, non-tech problem as a counter-point to a whole discussion exclusively about a tech problem is not as smart as you think it is
no, that's unmitigated nonsense. Just your first paragraph showed you have no idea what you're talking about, but now you're just stringing words together.

In three paragraphs, you've attacked me three times, when there's no need to have done. If you can't have civil discourse, I'm not interested in discussing this with you.

It's an example

no, it's not. An example is something that happens. What you brought up is a fantasy.

GTA being a great example of something that doesn't have perpetual licenses to their music.

that's wrong, because even if Rockstar removed some songs from some versions of their game, if you bought the disc version of the game, then guess what - the songs are still on there.

it is neither the consumers' nor SKG's fault that the richest company in the richest entertainment industry is unwilling to negotiate terms that don't scam the people purchasing their products.

you've attacked me three times

if you're going to make stuff up and bring up things that don't stand up to the simplest scrutiny then that's going to be brought up. that's not an attack on you, but it definitely is a comment on the quality of points you bring to the discussion. if you want to make better points, it's as simple as: before typing "X" google for "X?" and then read the top result. otherwise it's just whataboutism.
