@pony The thing is, you live in the land of unbridled capitalism, so laws focused on making money are often unjust towards the consumer. Over here laws on that stuff are far more lax, in part because people tend to be more combative about their rights and in part because software companies want to charge too much so it's either allowing some degree of piracy or letting the computer and gaming industry just sink. Then there's places like Russia that have cool things like anti-DRM laws. I'm against piracy when the developers don't rid legal software with bloatware and crap to keep users in check, like when buying from gog, but I support it for DRM-intensive software and "we can revoke your license at any time" software, since those are not muh different from outright scams. Justice over law, basically.
