As for Debian, Ubuntu is a Debian distrobution. You may well find that you have similar issues with Debian as you do with Ubuntu, for a specific hardware set.

So, there you have it. One guaranteed, demonstrable lost sale because of your choice to implement a ridiculous restriction on single player gameplay. Thanks for reading.
Ok, let's take your idea to its logical conclusion:
1) Game company releases popular game with draconian DRM. 2) DRM irritates gamers. Game doesn't sell well. 3) Game company sends briefed spokesperson to the world to say "Hey, I feel your pain!" and gamers gobble it up. 4) Game flops in sales. EA pretend to be upset with blogger. 5) EA releases patch to remove DRM. Game sales explode. 6) Gamers enjoy game DRM free. 7. - REDACTED -
The last item was supposed to be "Games companies realise that DRM is hurting sales, ease off with restrictive copy protection" but my sense of reality kicked back in. Sorry.
The trouble is that some folk would say "Oh, but I was going to return it! Honest, Gov'!" and because they were not going to permanently deprive the owner of their property, it was a (very, VERY unlikely, yet still possible) defense to a charge of Theft. Especially in cases when cars were taken from family members and reported stolen, only for a son or daughter to be found joyriding later.

Is that because drawing a picture of a a sexual act involving a person under the age of consent displays the intent to own a real image of a person who is under the age of consent, which in turn displays an intent to engage in a sexual act with a person under... Oh, wait, actually doing it would be legal.
Both of the suggested situations you provided can be fulfilled by asking only for the number of people in the household old enough to vote, and the number of children.
But if she'd sent "nawty" pictures of herself, or they'd filmed getting it on together, they'd both be put on the Sex Offender's register, and they'd both be charged with creating / posessing / distributing indecent pictures of a minor. You have to be 18 to consent to that.
Start thinking of/. as what The Register was just before they employed Lester Haines and Andrew Orlowski, or Horizon before Jeremy Vine, and you'll see where/. is going. More "Idle" stories, more "OMG DINK OF DUR CHILDRENZ!" sensationalism, more 3 line story stubs which link back to a Digg link which links to an article from a less than reputable source.

Oh no, stealing a car is still theft.

TWOC was brought in to address this loophole.
Ha! What a crappy game that would be.
The intro FMV would be a guy sat in a dressing gown with a "vase" on the table in front of him, and he'd mutter the phrase "Nah, I'll just stay in today."
End credits.

You'd think that a man of his intellect would know the difference between "your" and "you're"
Wait a second... How did he make that mistake during a telephone call?!
He lives with his mum in a small flat.
