[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 5141096, member: 32303"] That is an odd way of looking at things, I guess it will work OK (if you never break the law then you are not going to get in trouble with the law, barring misunderstandings of course, however I like to think about the base logic for them and what may modify things; there are many laws on the books that when tested in court would fall apart owing to them going against say the constitution. Usually the law is formed in response to a problem or an anticipated problem (or because of historical/religious reasons, because fines bring money or because someone made a sizeable donation to the right people, however I will leave the cynicism out of this one for now) so it can be somewhat flexible. On smoking in a restaurant it may not be the same act in terms of the damage caused -- if I have to clean it up then I may increase my prices (or decrease an expense somewhere else) in anticipation of this expense. The second hand games thing is in response to laws that say you can resell stuff you own, it may or may not be modified by laws regarding intellectual property but we don't have a clear ruling on the matter. Every game developer knows this when they go in so basic logic would say they can not complain about it. Piracy, by definition, is going against the license under which you can use an intellectual property and thus can be considered a loss of some form, what kind of loss is a matter for debate. The emulators thing was in response to apex. He said you had to buy the system ("To pirate on a system, you must first buy the system") and emulators were the obvious counter to that. Another might be unlicensed clones but that gets into very odd territory. [/QUOTE]
