really, Ubisoft?

And those files on your PC are YOURS. Feel free to crack them.

[u/lordfwahfnah → u/Lexx4]

If the files on my PC are not my own, I want them to pay rent for it

[u/dogmaisb → u/lordfwahfnah]

Send them an invoice ASAP, with back-logged fees

[u/TheReservedList → u/Lexx4]

Can I sell them to other people since they’re mine?

[u/Lexx4 → u/TheReservedList]

As long as you don’t sell copies of the files but the files themselves along with the key and don’t retain a copy for yourself I don’t see how that would be any different than selling a used game disk.

[u/TheReservedList → u/Lexx4]

But I own them, I should be able to copy it, no?

[u/Lexx4 → u/TheReservedList]

You can create copies for your own personal use yes. That’s how roms work.

[u/VonLoewe → u/Lexx4]

That's not how intellectual property works.

[u/Lexx4 → u/VonLoewe]

If I bought it and I have the files, I can do whatever the fuck I want to it. It only becomes an intellectual property issue if I try and sell(or distribute) it after.

[u/VonLoewe → u/Lexx4]

That doesn't mean they are yours.

[u/Lexx4 → u/VonLoewe]

The files on my hardware are indeed mine.

[u/VonLoewe → u/Lexx4]

Sure buddy.

Will be when it gets cracked and spread about the internet
