Comment I am for it on one condition (Score 1) 161

It is not a game that TenCent owns shares in like Riot (TenCent owns 100%) vs Blizzard (4.7%). Games that try to censor/cater to china like in Riot's case making the games super short for internet cafes and removing Nexus Blitz (and lying about stats) because it wasn't popular in china for an auto-chess clone with ranked/loot boxes first day on server. They never gave Nexus Blitz 1% of chance that TFT got from day one.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Of course, as any fool knows the only real solution to piracy is to offer your product to consumers at a price they are willing to pay, and in a format they see as value, so the Supreme Court can rule however they like. It will make no difference to the real world.

Also to be given the option to have said product without DRM and own it. steam, epic john deere etc and companies like c apcom who wont release physical discs for pc are one of the reasons why people turn to piracy.

Yes, but it's the equivalent of telling my attorney he or she can't look up the license plate of the car that ran me over.

That's not equivalent because that would both make sense to do and be perfectly legal.

This is the equivalent of *ME* asking the court for permission to lookup the license plate of the car that ran you over, plus a few thousand other license plates of cars that ran a few thousand other people over.

As much as you probably wouldn't mind me doing that, I still probably shouldn't have a legal right to that information.

To be more equivalent, this would need to follow previous requests I've made to do that, been given the license plate info in the police database, then never followed up by using it in a lawsuit.

Once you add that in, not only should I probably not have a legal right to that information, but many people should probably assume I am up to no good with it.

Even if you were able to get the license info though could you prove who was driving the car?

Comment Tencent (Score 1) 170

Tencent I believe owns only 4.6% of Blizzard but 100% of Riot games (League of Legends) so what happens if an American pro-player gets banned/money withheld etc for supporting democracy? In theory that would be Rito punishing for free speech so wouldn't it be nice to see if that scenario happens the senators above punish Rito with a ban (of equal length) with a small fine of say 1.8 billion dollars where they can't have NA servers for as long as the player is banned. It would actually hit their pocketbook as well as Tencents. Fair is Fair.. I use the above scenario based on the failure called citizen's united btw, if a company is a person then they should be punished accordingly from the personal side as well as the financial side (Company), money is speech they say.

Comment What needed to be added to bill. (Score 1) 168

Every rideshare/taxi company needs to have a local dispatch or number to call to get a vehicle to you (for those who don't have/use things like credit cards/phones) for say like getting home from hospital especially if ambulance took you there. Elderly people don't always know how to download apps, install them, setup an account, put in credit card info and then find a car in a reasonable amount of time if there are no taxi's etc because they have been run out by overpriced gig companies that don't pay their workers fairly. All taxis/rideshare whatever should have to take cash as well without having to use credit card.
