Odd how that's a non-violent choice.. Seeing as how football involves people more or less throwing each other around.. trying to knock each other down.. and lots of mean words *sad face*.
I am a football fan and play Madden, but come on: Football = Violent
If I give you a license for access to my couch, I have not given you my couch. If you violate the contract you've agreed to in order to get the couch access, I can make your license void and you cannot access my couch any longer.
We purchase a license to use a program that is owned by a company. We're given a license to use it. We can make a backup, but we cannot sell or give away our copy. We can sell the original, but as long as we destroy the copy.
You've got two options. Agree to the EULA, which basicly says "You get to use this until you piss us off" or disagree with the EULA. If you agree, play the game and don't piss off Valve. IF you disagree, you can get your money back by contacting them.
You're beyond complaining about a vaild point and whining because you're too lazy to send the product back for a full refund of the purchase price.
You agree to it before you download it via steam. If you purchase the box, read the EULA and still disagree with it, click "I Disagree" and call Valve saying you disagree with their EULA and would like a full refund for the game. You can send them the game and they will refund the purchase price.
Stores will not accept returns, but the company who put out the product usually will.
Also, check your local laws. Stores in MA cannot have a "No Refunds" policy, because that is against state laws. Also, they cannot turn down a refund within 30 days of the purchase date.. but that's again in MA.
The tapes they use are used over and over and the quality of the recording gets worse and worse.
If the camera is even on. I worked at a gas station for a few months and the home class VCR used for "recording" was hooked up to a television in the manager's office for watching movies while on break.
You're assuming that they haven't re-recorded over the tape with your face on it.

But only if this causes the anti-game groups to stop complaining.
Hey, isn't this how it's supposed to be for M+ games anyway?
Best Buy has the rating AND a sticker saying "You must show ID to purchase this game," on the box.
And where are the parents? Don't want a kid playing a violent video game, you are supposed to be responsible for your kids. Take the game away.

If they "need" their intarwebs access, tell them that they can pay for the service.
That will force them to get jobs or even just do chores (cleaning their rooms, shoveling snow, whatever).
Once they've got responsibility, they will have less time to spend online and more time becoming responsible members of society.

Look for "laws"
If they say you violated the license agreement, it is their legal right.
You agreed to their terms when you clicked "I agree."
If you violate their terms, your license will be revoked and you will not be able to use their product.
And how you see things and how the law sees things.. are totally different and the law wins vs you.
You were SOLD a LICENSE.
That's not something that you can argue, because that's how it legally works.
Trolls?
And if there is "no reality in renting an intangible object which can be easily replicated," how the fuck is blockbuster still open?
You can negotiate. You can agree or disagree with the EULA.
I bought it from steam and it doesn't.
That's not what I said at all, try going back and reading the comments.
I said that if you disagree with the EULA, and Valve refuses to return your purchase price, to contact the AG.
Nowhere was I defending the people who downloaded the game without paying for it first.
And it's not theft, it's copyright infringement.

What can they take Valve to court over?
"We violated a EULA that we had agreed to, and Valve cancelled our license to play this game!"
That's just silly.
You purchased a license. A license is something.
I paid for a license and downloaded HL2 through steam.
gmail filters most of it. This address re-sends to another address with another filter.
Spambots aren't a problem. I only see one or two messages a day of spam.
Or contact your state's AG. Most of them have some kind of fetish for kicking the asses of large companies.

You did not pay for the game, you paid for a license to play the game. If you break the contract, your license is revoked.
You have purchased something. A license to play the game on the terms and conditions that are told to you by the company.
If you violate the terms and conditions, the company can suspend or revoke your license to play the game.
They do not owe a refund to you if you decided to violate the agreement.
Is it Preacher: The Movie?
If not, no.
I'm pretty worn out from these Comic Book based movies..
Wake me when they're making Preacher into a movie and I'll see it 5 times and buy 2 copies of the DVD.
I pre-ordered from EBGames.com, and my order shipped early yesterday.
It sounds to me like VU doesn't like making money.
Don't use a cheap-o CD-R.. The price is low because the quality is low, do you want a low quality CD causing people to not switch?
Which brings up the point: What makes you think that the people you send Christmas cards to want to switch from Windows?
Children need to play, games like Tetris, Dr. Mario and Yoshi Cookie involve thinking and why not use a fun game to work out the mind?
No other kid will have a hand-held PS2.
