To address your first point. Yes it applies to other software, this initiative applies to games because the "buyer purchases a license to allow the seller to remove your purchase at some indefinite time later" practices have been most prevalent in gaming.
Extending the scope too far will bring in more opponents than allies and muddy the discussion. Getting a decisive answer here will inform laws on how other industries should be regulated in separate but parallel legislative processes.
Parliament will have 7 days after it closes before their planned summer recess. You think they will work that quickly to churn out a boilerplate debate?
If the EU petition makes it, then it will provide the UK petition support too as part of whatever debate goes on about it.
So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.
Those right turns on red were like, "oh you get to go? That's permission for me to go too!"
Oooh cool! I'll be watching for the release of this software with great interest!
No, if a Democrat president had done something remotely resembling one of these things: media, courts, Congress would be in a frenzy to stop it, before you could say executive order.
I mean I can understand the "controlled ineffectual opposition" narrative, but I don't buy the "Democrats' inaction means they are just as evil as Republicans".
In addition to siccing the military on protestors...
She would totally do all of these things in the first few months, because both sides are definitely the same.

Here's a table I adapted from Louis Rossman's video on the levels of piracy, grey areas and his morals and ethics on it. (spreadsheet file)
I tried to condense each rank and make it less about a specific type of media like CD audio or DVD video, along with a table of simplified characteristics of each situation. Of course more levels can be added and there are many situations not covered. This hierarchy is simply the way Louis ordered it from more to less justifiable; he respects people can think about it differently and I do too. He suggests that he doesn't really care about people that pirate without giving a shit about creators, and that he only has a problem with people who aren't honest with themselves about their motivations.
Setting legality aside, what 'level of piracy' is morally or ethically acceptable to you?
