“Most of the world’s video games from close to 50 years of history are effectively, legally dead. A Video Games History Foundation study found you can’t buy nearly 90% of games from before 2010. Preservationists have been looking for ways to allow people to legally access gaming history, but the U.S. Copyright Office dealt them a heavy blow Friday. Feds declared that you or any researcher has no right to access old games under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA.”
Federal law does not apply to me as a Swede in Sweden.
Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.
The concept of the sovereign citizen makes sense. You never consented to the laws you’re being held to. You’re forced into this system with no other options. Of course only people who have committed crimes and lost their drivers license and etc. try to evoke their weird ideas in court. But how is that any different than the laws and standards they’re being held to? Laws are written by politicians, some of the dumbest people in our society, heavily influenced by the wealthy. Laws are enforced only at the lowest levels, against people just struggling to survive to “protect the social order” it might as well be the Indian caste system. Laws are wildly unfair and applied excessively to the average person.
First time I see something like this net upvoted. Mood improved.
I’m not downloading it, the bits are travelling to my hard drive.
May I could check out a paper copy of those bits, would that be okay? Then it’s not a digital copy
I do not wish to enjoinder with your Game Launcher and anonymous telephony
I think Sweden has federal laws too.
No, just laws.
Sweden is not a federation, why would we have federal laws?
I meant as in country laws instead of local laws from municipalities and regions.
We have federal laws and local laws where I live, but I don’t live in a federation either.
There are no “local laws” in Sweden that differ between parts of the country, only laws that apply to the entire country.
Interesting. What about federal police?
It’s just police, there’s not really any policing entity above just regular police.
So every police officer can go and answer every call?
Over here we have police zones, and police officers patrol their own zone and handle the issues of their own zone (as long as no outside backup is required). Then we have the federal police that handle national issues and stuff like murders.
