I was lucky enough to know someone doing programming in uni when I was growing up - so I could borrow his compiler. (not that you need to do this now days with all the free compilers out there)

I just hope the future is not all "internet activation" as I like playing old classic games. (and the servers will eventually go down) Perhaps there could be a patch released - say 5 years afterwards that allows these games to be played?

I sometimes think that all these "pirates" and hoarders will be a treasure trove of info for future archaeologists.

Good post and good idea to have some blogs for non-coding topics.

As for the topic - Emil is right in the most important thing, that there is no hard edge, where we can say what is good and what is bad. As for me - as I'm growing up, I realize, that there can't exist one formal rule for all the situations. When theft is made - it's always evident, who is bad guy. But with getting some soft or music... Brrrr, music industry is not very good example, as for me, their chiefs, got used with mega-sales and mega-profits, just can't figure out, what's happening, making stupid licensing decisions and trying to close P2P networks and so on.
The more general soft become free - the less piracy would have exist. But specific soft must be well-paid.

I had read this post with pleasure. I'm happy that people speak and discus the topic. I'm as well not standing on any of sides but see the need to adopt to new media and situations. And to be honest big corporations like the old order in which they are on top but after they fall new ones will appear and all story will repeat. But maybe with time we will be coming closer to some balance.

In the Netherlands you can borrow games from some of the City libraries for years now (think 14 or so)

took them awhile before they understood that you need to balance the CD's with stickers if you use them on it or else they could break because of stress

plenty of video rental places have games too because video rentals are pretty low with Movie on demand and downloading

You can borrow games (ps2 etc) at the library in sweden.
The news that online sales went up 30% in a week after IPRED was pure lobbyism. Anyone should realize that it's not plausable why it would rise so much in just a week. So many pirates suddenly turned non-pirates and just had to fill the void after just 3 days? It's sad that .se main news sites like dn.se didn't critize the sources.
