It’s also possible she’s been in similar situations (either as professor or student) and doesn’t want to regard them as coercive.

Even if the house flips and he’s impeached, there’s no way 2/3 of the senate will vote to remove him.

I suppose one upside for the optimists is that if Trump does start WW3 most everyone will either be dead or cut off from each other, and so unable to say “I told you so”.

I don’t buy the argument that everyone needs to just look the other way because it’s “not their place”. If someone can take simple steps to make their product marginally less compatible with stolen goods, there’s no reason they shouldn’t.

So because some people could do bad stuff because they dislike pirating, nobody should ever take the legality of the product they’re modding into consideration whatsoever? You’re certainly entitled to hold that position, but it’s a bizarre place to draw the line, in my opinion.

If someone made a mod that intentionally damaged your machine, they might theoretically be charged under cybercrime laws, though I think in practice it would be a difficult case to pursue and win.

Also, just because damages did not occur does not mean it is justified nor even allowable. If a mod, as means to protect against a pirated game, say... messed around with registries and caused damage to a computer, what would you say then?

Without consideration, a EULA is not a legally binding contract. And setting that aside, the person was never intended to see the EULA in the first place - it’s the equivalent of signing a copy of a physical contract intended for someone else that they photocopied and handed to you to sign.

If the user in question did not give Square Enix money, then no contract exists between that user and Square Enix. There is no contract to be interjected into.

Nonsense. All sorts of private businesses grant or deny service based on ratings/certifications/authorizations by other private organizations. The original licensor doesn’t have to give permission for others to use the presence or absence of that contract as a prerequisite for their own services.

If a filmmaker forges…

Do you know how many programs move and delete files? And if it’s just moving files that the mod itself installed, there’s even less reason to cry foul.

Also, in this scenario, there *is* no licensee. So unless the licensor asks him to stop, nobody complaining has any grounds to.

How does it “interfere” with the computer? The modder isn’t obligated to have their program function in exactly the way a given user wants it to, and all sorts of programs rely on detecting information that should be present on the machine.

Yeah, but first people have to whine about having to put in the effort to crack it (or wait a bit for other people to).

Yeah, even with regular folks, the couple gets to pick the rules and everyone else gets to pick if they attend, what/if they give, and how they feel about things.

Really? The lips, eyebrows, and hair texture aren’t clues?

In the unlikely event prosecutors tried to send him to prison, you really don’t think Pence would pardon him?

That’s the opposite of what I’m saying. I’m saying divorce or break up with your partner if all they want to do is have sex with other people instead of you, and you’re not happy with that arrangement.

I think there’s a big difference between a partner’s sex drive declining and a partner who still wants to have tons of sex, but just *never* with you.

Lol, no shit he likes dicks. Problem is he doesn’t seem to like his husband’s dick anymore.

Can you lie about what district you’re in? Do they really check?
