Fair enough, should it be transferable?
- gameshot911 4y agoIMO that's up to the agreement between the creator and the person they sell/license their creations to. I offer product "A" with defined conditions attached. It may be as simple as "it's 100% yours for $X", and anything beyond that. If we both agree to the conditions, you get the product. If you disagree with my conditions, then you don't. That's where piracy falls apart ethically, IMO. Proponents argue "well it's not technically 'stealing' by the definition", "I would buy it if [it were cheaper; it were released sooner; it didn't have DRM; it didn't have X restriction, etc.]", but in the end all those arguments fall apart for the very simple reason stated above. Namely: the creator has the right to sell it with any conditions they see fit, and if anyone disagrees with them, their resource is to not buy/enjoy the product, NOT to take it by other means.
