It doesnt matter what I or the people who supported Singaporean punishment prefer, as long as the 8th stands, its illegal. You base part of your argument on the economics of putting Tim Cook in jail, which has no place in the discussion of JUSTICE. You lost any moral high ground at this point.
You are a fool, with foolish opinions. Corporal Punishment is NEVER the answer to handling an adult. We call that sort of justice cruel and unusual for a reason. What you suggest is blatantly illegal in the United States, and rightly so.
The part you italicized would NEVER EVER stand up in court. The word 'server' is too vague to be a conscionable contract term in 2013. Every Xbox360 acts as a server when playing multiplayer.
The term 'server' is too vague as they use it and would never stand up in court considering every smartphone is a 'server' of some type. Also the main differentiator between consumer and business class is the SLA.
DO you have any idea how many AAA titles i have bought on Steam for $5? It cost me more in bandwidth to download RAGE then it did to buy it. I really dont give a shit if i 'own' it at those kind of prices.
The fundamental change is this: On an Xbox360, you put the disc in and it plays without question. WIth the Xbox One, the disc is no longer the license, and it will not play by default.
Jsut no. This generation of consoles taught the devs how to scale a game to multiple targets really well. Bioshock Infinite plays better on a Celeron 1610 with integrated GPU then it does on Xbox360, AT HIGHER RESOLUTION. Yes having a stable target on consoles is good and they do get micro optimization as a result, BUT the raw horsepower of PC mitigates pretty solidly. Optimization at this scale stopped mattering for PC around Core2Duo.
No one is saying that connected experiences are bad. What we are saying is that shouldnt be the ONLY option. You can only lock it down so far before things start slipping through your fingers.

A dead tree book and an ebook are not equivalent on many levels. Each has unique properties the other does not.

I honestly dont know what exactly the Live fees pay for, but it sure isnt multiplayer servers.
The point is i hold the vast majority of the artwork and assets that make up the game. A simple crack and im back in business.
Unconscionable contract term given the modern reality of computers, probably uneforceable.
THe problem is Verizon is using public right-of-way to do its business, so no they shouldnt be able to drop people on a whim.

You can backup steam games to physical media. I do it all the time.

Yes but not such a bad idea that we should be discussing it. This should have died at the local level.
Claims to hold the rights, not proven. This has yet to be tested in court.
Thats a bullshit workaround, not a faithful interpretation of the 4th.
Im typing this on a Mac mini, so you'll pardon my LOL. By hood i meant the software hood. Sealed laptops like an Air dont bother me.

In certain regions, its not a violation of the AUP. Further, that particular aspect of their AUP has not been tested in court.

What about the always-on microphones?
Laptops arent locked down platforms with no way to see under the hood.
Its only perfectly legal is you ignore the 4th.
Philosophically i dont give a shit what most people are willing to accept. Full national wiretaps is absolutely 100% ILLEGAL.
That would take some Real Genius.
