@timmyp1982: You don't have to get pissed and lash out because you don't understand what you're talking about. And I don't think you know what words like "superfluous" and "extemporaneous" mean, either. Anyway, I tried to reason with you, if you're still confused you can reread what I wrote already. Later.
@timmyp1982: I don't think you understand - I never argued that what Gamespot posted is illegal or that downloading ROMs is illegal or anything of the kind. I just pointed out that there are no court cases that have yet determined where copies of video games fit in copyright law. That's a fact. Legal precedent is also divided, as demonstrated in the examples I provided above. And at any rate, your original argument, that "you own the software license" is absolutely 100% wrong. You can't take your bluray of Star Wars, rip it, then upload it to Youtube. Because you don't own the license to do that. Video games are subject to similar usage restrictions. I'm not sure how to be more clear.
@timmyp1982: That's a common misconception. Buying a copy of something does not give you the "license" for it. That's well-established in IP law. The only one who owns the license to an IP is the person who owns the IP. A copy of something, whether it be music, video, a game, a book, whatever, comes with usage rights that are limited by the law and the court's interpretation of how those laws apply to the medium. And it's not always consistent either, for example you have the right to copy your CDs to your iPhone, but not to copy your VHS tapes to DVD. So it's just not accurate to claim that owning a copy of something gives you some kind of free license to do whatever you want with it.
@paddymcninja: If there is and they require payment for it, that's a violation of the terms of the RetroPie open license. People are not allowed to make money selling RetroPie. You could have someone put the pi in the case for you and plug in the controllers, but that's something pretty much anyone can do in a few seconds.
@Renunciation: That case didn't address ROMs. Sharing ROMs is (obviously) violation of copyright, but owning them for games you already own has not been tested in court.
@superklyph: It's incredible to watch you tear through this comment section attacking every single person you can and yet you have absolutely no idea what you're on about. Nintendo has absolutely not "excluded video games from fair use" - if they have, then show me the actual court case that establishes that. If not, then retract your nonsense.
@sephirothswing: Same, but they're not making this change for raids, instead they're giving us Matchmaking, where solo players can join raid teams that are looking for 1 or 2 more.
@TrueLink: Agreed, this is a change I'm going to enjoy. If you go back to the first gameplay reveal videos, this seems like it was their original plan for Destiny 1 (this exact thing happens in a mission), but that got scrapped, I would assume due to technical issues that took them awhile to resolve. Glad to see they're using this in Destiny 2.
