But they only exist because the government has the power to create those laws. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

But they only exist because the government has the power to create those laws. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
- ThomPete 11y agoThey still exist because companies lobby to keep them alive. I don't hate the player I simply observe how the game is played.
- atom-morgan 11y agoTrue. Point is I think the government should be the focus here, not the players who take advantage of the rules they create.
- ThomPete 11y agoI think both should be at the focus as they are often two pieces of the same part.
- atom-morgan 11y agoThink of segregation/separate but equal. Nothing can really stop someone from choosing not to associate with another person because of their race or gender. And that's generally okay. But the second it becomes law of the land, through government, it's a problem. IP is no different.
- ThomPete 11y agoThere is plenty of lobbyism that's ok. The problem is when it's conspiring against the interest of the society as a whole. So both should of course be monitored closely.
- burkaman 11y agoYou can still hate the player, especially when they have more power than you. "It's legal" doesn't mean it's right.
- atom-morgan 11y agoI definitely didn't mean to imply that. I simply believe people target their outrage at the wrong party in this instance.
- hfourm 11y agoIts also reasonable to both blame the laws and the insert "greedy" player here. It usually takes two parties to mutually benefit off a partnership
