Defending what?


“grants a license” not “grants ownership”
You’re renting it until Steam decides to revoke it. The article talks about these not being owning but you have to know going into it that you’re not buying the product, you’re buying a seat to use the product. That’s renting. You’re paying for access.


If you read the TOS then you’d see you’re renting the game. Steam can revoke your access.
Hence how it’s not owned, you’re paying for a period of use.


Scroll up, we’re talking about a game on Steam. That’s a rental.


If you want to get into a debate of copying vs stealing then go ahead but it has nothing to do with the line about “it’s not stealing if you were renting it”


When you don’t pay for rent is it stealing?
When you rent something and take it over, is it stealing?
Highlighting the problems with renting something (that it can be taken away) doesn’t change that. And to claim you’re free to steal anything you rent because it’s not really stealing doesn’t give any merit, it just makes you look like a bitch.
You can assume all closed source software is a rental because you have no idea when it will stop working. The idea that you can reverse engineer it while admirable isn’t realistic for 99% of the population, if it were then there wouldn’t be a reason to have it be closed source.


It’s such a dumb line, own up to stealing like a badass instead of pussyfooting around the term.
Do you realize how much a private jet costs?

If you’re asking more generally there’s pihole but YouTube delivers ads the same way as videos so it won’t work for that.


Isn’t your suggestion just holding people accountable?


Yes but also why can’t you just turn a knob to make it 68 (I don’t know how much this is) and press a button for auto?


Japan has that.


Everytime I see something about it I just wonder why it’s popular.

If the UN had teeth then no one would join it.
The use of palm trees for palm oil is bad.


Now all peripherals just need to adopt compatibility for this single TV model and it’ll catch on.
Where have I defended that?
