Why is illegal to share the video game I paid for and downloaded to my computer.
I mean I paid for it, I never get fined for sharing my car with my best friend.
This is just ridiculous.
Please comment.

You bought a license, not the game
>>51883999
you are a faggot and an idiot

Your friend needs also to have a license, for driving. It is illegal if he doesn't have one.
I can give you my game DVD too, but not the key to activate it.
This is the reason why I don't install proprietary games that do not respect my freedoms.

So the game it's not mine and it can be taken away from me?

If you don't wanna click the link, try searching for "steam, do I own the game" and you get like million results. It is not just steam, everyone does this nowadays. Only thing to be secure is buy a console/pc, never connect to the internet, buy only games that don't need to be activated over internet.
>>51883999
maybe you should have read the license agreement before installing the game
>>51883999
You bought a license to own the game not the actual game. Read the games EULA for more info.

That's correct. Welcome to copyright law and buying licenses to install software.

But anon! EULAs are generally rife with obfuscating language, unintended to be read by the end user, and rarely hold up in court.
The unwashed masses have proven they cannot be trusted and have to be treated as children.

Oh in that case, I'll just freely copy the game in front of the copyright owners and they'll have no cause to bring me to a lawsuit and expect to win.
