I'm very much in the first camp and need to remind myself whenever I think about arriving due nuclear

Gamers, is it gay to call a bond between siblings brothership?

You joke but...

It's an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you've bought. The example used is for the video game "The Crew" which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.

What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn't be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.

Are your monitors all the same resolution, refresh rate and size?

IIRC the French reactors are all nearing their end of service life and'll be decommissioned soon.

What definition for piracy are your relying on?

The illegitimate procurement of media.

where did you source it?

My ass.

Does DMCA even have a definition for this?

Can't help you there, I'm not American.

I've not argued any of those points. Just that not watching ads on YouTube is piracy.

In the UK, piracy isn't a legally defined term, and the way that I would define piracy as the illegitimate procurement of media.

but TOS is often illegal anyway.

Piracy isn't only a legal thing. It's just dealt with through the legal system.

I'm not modifying any of the content

Sorry, I was wrong. You are however circumventing YouTube's playing ads.

I'm a pedantic asshole.

You don't have permission to modify any of the content YouTube sends you.
