[QUOTE="nokillmonkeys, post: 4310349, member: 166888"] Don't get me wrong, I understand why the implementation exists as it does, but that doesn't make it right; is it worth cutting off legitimate users to "stop piracy"? From there, the question becomes "What is the advantage of my program preventing unauthorized games to be played?" "Am I trying to keep money in the hands of the developers?". The answer is obviously no, since developers no longer see Gamecube money. "Am I trying to prevent others from "breaking the law"?" Sure, that's a reason, but "because it's the law" isn't [i]always[/i] a good reason (and in this case I would argue that it's not; sometimes it's akin to "I'm going to jump off this bridge because my friends did"). Nevermind that this is U.S. law, on a global internet, where people from all different countries will have access to his program. "Do I want to disallow those in third world countries or those in other unfortunate circumstances from using my program?" Well, probably not, but who knows. "Am I trying to encourage second-hand sales of Gamecube games?" It's possible, but unlikely to have any such effect on second-hand sales, since an especially determined individual who wants to pirate does have other options available. There's really only one "advantage" to such a design, so I'd argue that his program has AP either because he is using emotional thinking in regards to the law, or simply because "because I can". Although just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I could delve even deeper into the second reason and flesh it out, but I won't here. [hr][b][size=2]Posts merged[/size][/b] [quote="JoostinOnline, post: 4310331"] You are so dramatic. He could have just not released it. I don't think you really understand what punishment is. When you were little and you disobeyed your parents, did they say "As punishment, I won't give you this $20"? Really, it's not that bad. Apparently I'm being "punished", so shouldn't I be crying like you as well? [/quote]As wiismodrome said, it's a matter of principle.
