You want to know the best kicker? Games can be pulled from digital shops because of any license expiring. You cannot buy some driving games from a decade ago ( >>14035003 and pic related) due to the car licenses expiring, so now you have to search out for the physical version (Unless you find a key).

Also, on top of that, I have a physical copy of Star Trek D-A-C that requires Steam to activate the game, but the titles has alrady been gone from the Steam store for who knows how long (I can still activate it, though). And, Best Buy still sell digital codes for the PS3 version of that Scott Pilgrim game everyone loves (But, not the 360 version).

While I cant comment on either of those people because I do not know their patent situation well enough. James Watt can be thought of as a good example.

Thanks to patent protection, he made huge changes to the steam engine and got the money he deserved from that.

Except that is not the case. While he did get a lot of money and his change to the steam engine was very important, the economy without patents also works and likely better. Many inventors in the day made improvements to the steam engine. They were generally funded by factories that wished to see their steam engine become better. The improvements however were not protected, so once one factory had it, sooner or later it spread to other factories as well. Still it was worth investing in because being the first to improve always yields benefits. The best thing about their being no protection however is that any other inventor can improve upon past improvements. While the things Jame Watt did for the steam engine were huge, by patenting it, suddenly the steam engine improvements came to a halt. James Watt had no further incentive to improve at all during the time period, and in fact did not do so. It was only after the patent expired that he once again made any contribution to the steam engine whatsoever. During the time of the patent, he and his (((business partner))) spend most of their time bringing lawsuits to other inventors. Meaning not only did they sit on their lazy ass, they also forced anybody else to stop their work as well.

There is much more prove of the bad nature of both patent and copyright law. There are books in a series, of which the first few are actively sold but the later ones are not simply because they were made just before copyright became a perpetual thing. These later versions have no economic, cultural or entertainment value because nobody is going to buy them and read them. The earlier ones, because they are no longer protected, still have value. Not because they are better, simply because the curse that is intellectual property rights did not block them.

Another example of a very, very successful book that has no copyright is the 9/11 commission report. By US law, it has no copyright because it is produced by the US government. And when the contract was made to find a book publisher, they even had rules preventing them from making much profit. They had to give a free book to any of the 9/11 victims families, they would compete with the exact same report being digitally available the same second and they were only allowed to make a very small profit per print. And still companies really, really, really wanted that contract.

If you believe copyrights and patents are needed, it is simply because you have never thought about a world in which they are non existing. You have simply looked at them, decided they made some sense, and because they are used, decided they are the only possible way. It even ignores evidence to the contrary that exists in this world.

I believe that capitalism is a pretty good system because it works, and copyright and patents are a slap in the face of it. Capitalism can not work in a way that benefits society as a whole when we allow monopolies to exist and yet we enforce the stupid monopolies that are copyright and patent laws.

While I am sure few people here are, know that if you are a member of a third world country, they are forcing copyright and patents upon you simply to keep you down. China is growing strong because it has decided as a culture to ignore these stupid barriers for the most part. Any other country in the world should do the smart thing and start ignoring them as well.

<Decide to look up Watt's steam engine

>…

>Watt's patent prevented others from making high pressure and compound engines

Meanwhile…

<Decide to look up internal combustion engine

>In 1791, John Barber developed a turbine. In 1794 Thomas Mead patented a Gas Engine. Also in 1794 Robert Street patented an internal combustion engine, which was also the first to use liquid fuel, and built an engine around that time. In 1798, John Stevens built the first American internal combustion engine. In 1807, French engineers Nicéphore (who went on to invent photography) and Claude Niépce ran a prototype internal combustion engine, using controlled dust explosions, the Pyréolophore. This engine powered a boat on the Saône river, France. The same year, the Swiss engineer François Isaac de Rivaz built an internal combustion engine ignited by an electric spark. In 1823, Samuel Brown patented the first internal combustion engine to be applied industrially.

So, when do you plan on moving to China, a culturally "rich" place?

>I believe that capitalism is a pretty good system because it works, and copyright and patents are a slap in the face of it. Capitalism can not work in a way that benefits society as a whole when we allow monopolies to exist and yet we enforce the stupid monopolies that are copyright and patent laws.

That's because the people elected to office don't enforce the LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE. Unfortunately, too many people have given up, or want the easy way out, or are just plain lazy and keep electing people into office who, strangely enough, do follow through on their "promise", but do it by destroying the system and people end up complain why the system doesn't work. There's a reason why there's a saying that goes along the lines of, "Whoever is elected is whoever the people deserve".

No idea how accurate pic related is, but fuck me, that's a game that has barely any info about it floating around.

Allegedly you could still play it on lan but I couldn't find anything that confirmed it, due to squeenix shutting the servers down and with no way to access it, valve probably removed it to stop people downloading it (costing them bandwidth)

They still have it in their account, so if squeenix ever did anything with it, valve wouldn't get fucked, they just can't install it.

It prevented others from making changes to the fucking steam engine to improve it you idiot. In a world without patents and copyright, you do not need to invent a fully new type of engine to make improvements, you just take what is originally there and improve upon it. That is the whole fucking point you are ignoring. If I tell you that no improvements were made to the car during a certain period, don't come shouting at me that bikes, planes and trains became 200% more efficient during the period.

I did not suggest china is a culturally rich country, if it is or isn't, I don't care. While I certainly believe that copyright is hurting our ability to have a rich culture, I was talking about economy. Just look at Japan. It was a shithole of a country, close to china in terms of technological advancement. And they ignored anything like patent and copyrights and became one of the most technologically advanced societies in our world. They literally went around the world taking pictures of everything to "steal" every idea and invention possible. And it fucking worked.

And I fully agree that there are many problems with our government, but they are pretty much the same as the ones with copyright and patents. Many of the systems in place may look reasonable, but they are specifically made to keep the same people in power. This is true for both government as well as intellectual property. You may think that IP laws protect the small little inventor, this is barely ever the case. Most inventors work for a bigger company, which isn't too bad, especially if there are no protective laws like non compete agreements. Smaller inventors often get bought out or have to spend all their time fighting lawsuits. Copyright and patent law are here to make it so that Disney and the like do not have to compete with the much more agile newer companies.

In a research done by the EU on copyright protection, they investigated the EU and US database industry because in the EU, databases are protected while in the US, they are a listing of facts so they cannot be protected. They found that the US industry was bigger and growing faster. The main defense of the EU industry actually came down to the fact that they would have to compete if the copyright protection was removed.

The only good IP law is trademark law, which is there to help companies AND consumers in knowing who made a product and thus if the products are probably going to be good products or not. Copyright and patents are only there to protect the companies from having to compete with anybody else.

Interesting.

I guess considering that the servers a long dead, it's understandable why steam would stop you from downloading it.

It's still a scary thought that steam can just block you from downloading something you own.

Good thing pirating exists to make sure you can still play those games. At least until all new games are connected to some server like mmos and they are killed when the servers are taken down.

>In a world without patents and copyright, you do not need to invent a fully new type of engine to make improvements, you just take what is originally there and improve upon it. That is the whole fucking point you are ignoring.

Have you ever heard of iNES, anon? It's was the first "working" format for NES ROMs. By all hindsight accounts, it is an incredibly flawed setup, that was then improved upon in many other formats. None of these improved systems caught on because everyone is just using iNES (Even Nintendo) simply because it works.

>They literally went around the world taking pictures of everything to "steal" every idea and invention possible.

Wasn't there some electronics patent back in the 80's that was caught up on a political squabble because some U.S. company couldn't sell it directly to the Japanese, so they sold it to a Frech company who turned around and sold it to the Japanese company? How is that "stealing"?

That doesn't even make sense. Why would he pay them to destroy them instead of just stockpiling them and saying they don't exist? It's not like anyone would know he has a secret stockpile. And he can always resell the duplicates now for further profit. Sounds like ((fake news)) imo.

Reminds me of the Deadpool game, That got pulled from digital stores, and then got put back up again when the movie came out. now it was pulled again, likely to be put back up when Deadpool 2 comes out.

The same could happen with Transformers, when the next movie comes out they could put the games back up, but maybe not since the games were up for years, only to now be pulled for no logical reason.

>>14035937

Korra is probably gone for good since that show is done, but Korra was an okay at best game anyway, Devatstion was far better. and the TMNT game got pulled way earlier for sucking ass.

This is no shit. My parents worked at a brakehose factory when I was a kid, and sometime during the 90's the owners were looking to sell the place off. They brought a bunch of Japanese businessmen into the plant and gave them a grand tour, allowing them to take pictures of everything they wanted in an attempt to try to court them into buying the place. A bunch of people from the floor and a few of the union reps came to management and told them they were fucking up, because they were basically giving away all their processes and blueprints. Management didn't listen, because the deal was just too sweet for their judaism to be contained. The Japs then pulled out of the deal at the last minute and fucked off to open up their own plant in some shithole country using all the stolen designs.

I agree, but not for the same reasons. The company were just being greedy kikes, who the whole while thought they were screwing over the Japs because as part of the bargain - the Japs would have assumed responsibility for the pensions of everyone there, including the retirees already collecting. At the time, a good 40+% of their workforce was within 4~8 years of retirement.

They should have known damned well that nobody is going to take on that kind of responsibility for somebody else's contracts - and letting them walk around and document fucking everything was just beyond retarded. They deserved to screwed over on that deal. .

I have that SP game on PS3. I believe it's also floating around in torrented format, but on the off chance that it's not and that there's an easy way to dump them online, I'd do it. Game is way too good for what its source material is.
