Gotta love DRM that makes paid versions of games worse than pirated stuff.

Because you didn’t make it. I’ll grant that western ideas about intellectual property are weird and inconsistent, but I’m taking it as a given that we hold that idea in common.

The right of the author is to be the one who decides who creates the copies, but it definitely isn't to decide who gets to use the copies in whichever way. Traditional libraries existed for millennia and honestly wouldn't be able to operate under this thinking.
