17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems

Well that’s interesting. It does say the law won’t override fair use. But I assume it blocks it regardless.

So you’re saying, because it would rip straight to another cartridge, it could be argued it’s streamlining distribution?

I would hope that a court would see through that argument. There’s a pretty good track record of allowing personal use of personal property. But I wouldn’t be surprised either if they convinced a court that this was explicitly for distribution purposes.

Is it illegal to rip a game that you own onto a device that you own? My understanding is that’s 100% legal, not gray area at all. The only issue would be if you distributed it.

I don’t think that’s true with how much support they give to their first party titles. I mean, their console exclusives are top-tier.

I like it. Tell them to vote, then encourage them to vote for Harris (especially if you’re in a swing state).

I think the debate over it is somewhat interesting. I can think it’s valid or misguided. But Chappell, specifically, requires no defense. Even if you disagree with her non-endorsement, that’s like the most minor complaint you could have. She’s still solidly voting for Harris and stated as much, which is just as good.

74 million people voted for Trump in 2020 after one of the worst presidential terms in U.S. history, stripping federal protections and pushing radical anti-LGBTQ+ judges into every level of government. And the two candidates are still tied in the polls, despite only adding an insurrection and convictions to his resume. That’s the problem.

Another good one. I’ll include it.

I included Fall Guys because I liked it. I included Fortnite because it’s one of the most popular games ever made. It would be weird not to include it.

Good call! I can’t believe I forgot that one!

It’s related to their ability to earn a living sinking 3-pointers.

If we don’t include backwards compatibility, PS1 easily. So many iconic and underrated RPGs from that time. If we do count BC, it would either be PS2 or PS3 by technicality.

Do you have a lot of UMD games? I got a PSTV (the Vita console), hacked it to use expanded memory (just follow the steps you can find online), and repurchased most of my physical catalog digitally. I think a lot of those games are locked at $10 since the store can no longer receive updates.

I still have my 1000 for physical. But even then, Vita incompatible games like Crisis Core and Spyro (for some reason the PS1 game isn’t compatible with Vita) are available on my PS5.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection is 6 of the 9 games.

I don’t give a fuck what she has to say to voters to get her elected. If you don’t think liberal judges over the next four years are a net positive over conservative judges, you need to pay more attention to politics more holistically.

For the record, this is also why I’m forever grateful to Joe Manchin for giving Dems a majority despite him not agreeing with Dems on many subjects. The alternative was far, far worse.

I live in a red state. Federal protections are the single most effective way way to support LGBTQ+. So yeah, don’t say you’re doing “everything” if you won’t even endorse.

Love what she does, I love the activism. She has no obligation to endorse. I totally get Gaza if that’s the holdup. But saying you’ll do “everything” in the same breath as saying you won’t endorse Harris is a lie and is offensive to me as someone who lives in an impacted state who desperately does not want another Trump presidency.

I watch enough cable news to know that they don’t take the extremism on the right seriously enough. And they’re too chicken shit to call it out 90% of the time because then they’ll look biased. They try to attack the left over literally anything to appear impartial.

I pay attention to politics. And I notice the shit that happens that gets ignored.

You’re just up and down this thread attacking things nobody said. I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not.

I think you missed the conversation entirely.

It’s literally THE cause that SHE mentioned. That’s the entire point of my comments.
