I read for you |Battlefield, FC Club, NFS and other EA games

The author does not post any documents hidden from users on the Internet. All the documents used on the blog are in the public domain on the Electronic Arts website. The author is not a lawyer, so if he is wrong in something, correct in the comments.

Hello, my plus. It seems that I started too many of the headings, but why not? “I read for you” is the next section of micro -blogs, within the framework of which we will figure out the EULA (user agreement), namely what you sign, for which you can be banned in games and other interests. Why is it needed? Because many do not plot user agreements banally, by virtue of which I decided to talk about their main points that you need to know before adoption.

If you do not know what EULA is and/or do not understand the principles of the work of this kind of licenses, then I ask you to read my past blog on the topic of software licenses – *pumpkin *. I will be very glad if you also read it, because due to the restrictions of SG (damn bot), he gained quite a bit of views.

Today we will start with more or less light agreements, namely, agreements for Electronic Arts games. Why light? Mostly EA agreements are quite small, and now in general they are unified by one agreement, although previously issued a template Eula separately for each game.

This is a base! It is necessary to know this!

At the moment, all software (software) EA uses EA Eula, due to which this agreement is valid for all software products of the company. So far, we will consider the first clauses of the agreement, because they are quite important for further understanding.

I think it is necessary to notice that using the services and according to (games) Electronic Arts, you automatically accept the user agreement without even clicking on a checkmark when installing or registering it. The company in the agreement itself states that if you do not agree, do not use.

– So wait! There is written only for services – someone will write in the comments. The fact is that the EA unites the services, sites, games, platforms, etc. Personally, I think that the company in this way is trying to impose even more responsibility on those who buy accounts or pirate games, because the pirate already concludes an agreement with EA without even suspecting this.

Why do I think so? Because an automatic agreement is simply not necessary if you already press on a checkmark with the consent when creating an EA account.

Moreover, in EA this practice was applied not only to the modern user agreement, but also the minimum to the old user agreements Battlefield 4 and 3:

EA did not delete your old BF4 agreement, it can be found in Google and will throw a direct link to the file that lies on their website (EA.com).

Finally we can go to the account. EA (account) account is necessary for the further use of some games and services of the company. It belongs only to us and we are responsible for all actions committed from this account. In case of violation of the contract, including in the case of using the entry by a third party, it can be blocked or removed. If you yourself want to delete your account, then you need to contact the technical support EA. In some countries, EA may take you a request for a request.

To register the account, you need:

Have either the age of 18+ years, or 14+ and the resolution of parents in accordance with Article 26 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Please note that in the second case, the responsibility for your account is imposed on parents or those who carry out the functions of the guardian.

Be a tax resident of the Russian Federation. According to clause 207 of the article of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, it is either citizens of the Russian Federation or foreigners who spent at least 183 days in the country in total from the date of the first entry.

So, we figured out the account, but what about games and donat in these games? All the same, Electronic Arts is famous for its gusts to monetize almost every game of its own, and some of them come out every year, thereby giving even more money and forcing him to buy even more donat.

In short, I will definitely open America for everyone, you do not buy games, but according to the agreement you do not even rent. The fact is that you really make a purchase, but not a game, but a personal, limited, indescribable, withdrawn and non -exclusive license to use the game. What does it mean? This means that you, even in Steam, bought not Need for Speed ​​Unbound, but a license to install it and use.

Of course, as with any proprietary software (closed, usually commercial), you are forbidden to somehow modify, copy, distribute, and, in some cases, even use (about it below) EA products, as well as decompile them, somehow try to extract the source code and of course use it.

Now let’s consider in two examples where in the first we will figure out why you can’t use exactly, and in the second where there is a kind of gray zone:

1 example – You are the director/head of the legal entity: LLC, AO, FSBU and others.
You are the head of the conditional LLC Rog and Hoofs, recently you have no work at all and decide to take yourself something. You remembered that you have an EA account with the good old Battlefield 3 . After checking the specification of your computer, which was recorded on the yur. face, decided to install the game all the same. Go to the site, download and install EA App, and finally install the game.
Time passes, you have been playing with a satisfied face for several months and people come to you here, and they have a special device in their hands. They connect it and see that you have a unlicensed one on your computer. In the future, it turns out that you violated the license at the EA App and entrance level to the account. The fact is that EA prohibits any commercial use of them on. You are outraged and ask yourself – “That is the unlicensed program? I bought a license and used not to make money.” – but only in legal terms, even just installing a yur on a computer. Faces, you already use it in commercially.
So, we realized that it is impossible, but what will happen? Well, since you installed it only on one computer and this did not bring huge damage, then to your yur. A person will be a fine of 30 to 40 thousand rubles and your computer will be confiscated in accordance with 1 clause of Article 7.12 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.

POV: You downloaded Battlefield at work

2 example – you are an individual entrepreneur and you have your own store.
Suppose you are an IPSHNIK with your store, it doesn’t matter which one, and you have your own office with a computer. You can install and play EA games without any problems. Why? I can be mistaken, because not a lawyer, but here the matter is both in the user agreement and in the law. The fact is that at the end of these prohibitions it is written “if it is not apparently allowed by EA or by law”. What does it mean? Well, according to the law, IP is the status of an individual who gives permission to conduct commercial activities, and not a new yur. face. Technically, you bought this computer for yourself, that is, it is personal, and does not fall into the field in which everything installed in, even Paint, is supposedly used for commercial purposes. You can both work at that computer and play. This can be a clear violation only if you really use the conditional “Battlefield” to achieve commercial goals, for example: pumping the profile of another player. Only in this case, the fine will be only up to two thousand rubles with confiscation again according to 1 clause of Article 7.12 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
Simply put – you can play, but somehow get money from the game – no.

You are glad that you will not be fined.

Ok, I think we figured out this. And what kind of donat? Everything is a little complicated here. The fact is that we have two more terms: “data” and “rights”. Data is part of the services, which include games, game currency, DLC, your profile, intra -game chat, and so on. EA rights are the rights that are granted under the license. Simply put, when buying a game you get a license in which you have the right to use this game, but not all rights are granted under a license.

Donate currency is officially called “EA virtual currency”. As you understand, it has no value, but here is a rather interesting topic. The fact is that officially virtual currency is not for sale. When you are “buying” it, in the same FC Club (Ex-Fifa), you actually acquire the right to “activate” currency. The right itself cannot return, replacement or reimbursement.

FUN FACT:

For Japan, there is an exclusive duty in the contract, within the framework of which the buyer of the currency undertakes to spend it in six months. As I personally understand from the wording of “any virtual currency”, the Japanese can spend not the entire amount, but at least some part of the purchased currency. If he does not use it during this time, then it is clear that this is a violation of the user agreement and EA will have the right to apply measures.

Rules and consequences

Perhaps we will jump through two points due to the fact that for an ordinary user they are not particularly important. This is because 4 and 5 points are mainly about responsibility: somewhere they recall about, I apologize for the tautology, the responsibility of the user, and somewhere EA refuse it. The only interesting thing is that EA can change the personal data of the user, as well as about the restriction of access in a particular case, but I will tell about this below.

We go to the most delicious – rules. The term “rules of conduct” defines the set of rules that the player must observe. For convenience, I divided all these rules into: technical and non -lactic;He also simplified the wording, united some points due to their similarity or duplication, and some were generally divided due to the fact that there are rules that immediately take into account completely different scenarios. Since there is too much text and so, instead of the screenshots of Orig, I will attach a link so that you can read what interests you – *pumpk *

Technical:

It is forbidden to somehow violate the work of the EA games and services, as well as servers and networks necessary to support them

It is forbidden to use software that damages, changes or interrupts EA service on other computers or devices.

It is forbidden to make hacker attacks, to break, load viruses, worms, trojans and other malicars against EA and other users.

It is forbidden to use the functions for supporting support or sending a complaint for other purposes, as well as send false notifications to EA employees.

It is forbidden to use all kinds of automation programs, including those used to extract any data.

It is forbidden to change files and other parts of the games and by EA. Yes, yes, this EA forbids you to use mods. Moreover, many mods, such as Project Reality, are the first project of future developers Squad, which is a modification for Battlefield 2, .

It is forbidden to use and distribute the prohibited software (that is, cheats, macros, etc.), as well as bugs and vulnerabilities of the game, but only those that give you an advantage.

It is forbidden to use and distribute fake in EA and their data, including virtual currency. Here, as I understand it, the fake meant pirate versions of the games, because it will be stupid to ban everyone who looks like the same Battlefield due to a strange formulation of the “fake”.

It is forbidden to hide your whereabouts and use EA services in a region in which you are not. There is generally a rather strange formulation in Origa, but then I tried as simple as possible and how I personally understood.

It is forbidden to use EA services (including games) in a country, within the framework of the legislation of which it is forbidden to provide its services.

Non -lactic:

It is forbidden to violate the current legislation, rules and decisions. In addition, section 8 separately says that it is forbidden to violate the user agreement.

Spam is prohibited in any manifestations and the publication of messages for other purposes except personal communication. For example: “I do not like this game, buy Call of Duty”.

It is forbidden to use obscene or insulting speech, excessive emotions (using only capital letters), spam mailing, excessive amounts of messages or multiple pressing the input key.

It is forbidden to threaten, cause anxiety or intimidate the player. It may not be clear to “cause concern” to “concern”, but in other words, these are some attacks, for example, attacks by the type of fact that people plays poorly, discrimination and so on.

It is forbidden to create user data, organize and participate https://richville-casino.co.uk in activities, group or guilds, which are inappropriate, offensive, or affecting (that is, touching feelings) some kind of group of people.

It is forbidden to somehow publish, download or distribute someone’s user and other data without their permission in games and services. For example: you play the game, they ask the name of your friend in the chat, and you yourself say it. In fact, you have revealed confidential user information.

It is forbidden to somehow publish or distribute illegal data in the Games and services of EA. As I understand it, this implies various references to illegal software, disclosure of any secret, and so on.

Any attempts are prohibited from receiving EA users information about their passwords, these accounts or any other private information. This is a rather comprehensive rule, because it takes into account both the sale of the account and attempts by attackers to steal it.

It is forbidden to use the methods of payment or reimbursement methods to obtain access to the games and other paid data or their acquisition for fraudulent purposes, without the permission of the EA or otherwise within the framework of criminal or other illegal activities. As I understand it, the purchase is not on the ban not by your card, buying in another region, activation of an illegal (stolen) key and so on.

It is forbidden to participate in fraudulent activity, perform other actions aimed at suppressing competition and contribute to their completion. I tried to simplify, but I realized that it is easier to stupidly copy and explain with an example. I thought for a long time, because even with an example could not particularly understand the meaning of the rule, but ultimately came to understanding. This rule separately considers raising ranks in a competitive rank game by another, more skill, face and other methods, which allows more experienced players with almost a top rating to get to the low-cost aids with the first ranks. I personally do not remember this kind of Games with EA, but in Counter Strike 2 this is still a problem and was even aggravated due to the separation of ranks by cards. I don’t know how it is now noticeable because of the new ranking system, but when the old system was easily noticed by the booster (person who raises the rank on the order of the owner of the account) on Lawrang.

It is forbidden to sell, buy, use together, exchange and otherwise transfer the EA account.

It is forbidden to use EA services in any services that are not controlled or not authorized by EA. A rather extensive rule that generally affects any kind of service, such as a computer club, if they are not allowed.

It is forbidden when creating and editing a pseudonym (nickname) to use someone else’s real name and it is recommended not to use your real name.

It is forbidden to participate in any activity that significantly violates the peaceful, fair and polite gaming environment. In simple words – don’t be a toxic.

It is forbidden to use information about users in open access in any of the EA services, for purposes that are not related to them, including attempts to identify the owner of the account.

It is forbidden to participate and call on to participate in any prohibited activities described in the user agreement.

So, I think we figured out the rules, but. What is there with the consequences in violation of the same rules? And let’s see.

Sanctions or other measures are those measures that are provided for violating the user agreement. EA has the right to apply them on your own, without taking into account your opinion, that is, if you are violating the agreement in the opinion of this company, then measures will be involved immediately. Only after the issuance of punishment does the player have the right to appellation.

And what can we do to us? What are these measures? Well, let’s look at them:

Termination of access, it is also a deactivation of an account – In fact, “termination” and “deactivation” are different terms within the contract, but they are related. EA when it stops accessing its services and games, it deactivates your account. In this case, your nickname is released, that is, another user can choose it. The termination also terminates all licenses. In addition, depending on the severity of the violation, other accounts may also be deactivated. EA can also terminate the agreement, which will lead to the above events, but sections 5, 8-9, 11-15 will continue to be valid even after termination, and section 15 is subject to more “extensive interpretation”.

Ban account – temporary or constant blocking. EA does not delete your account and does not take your games (more on that below), but can suspend access to your accounts. Interestingly, you can also ban your account to prevent unauthorized access, and not just as a punishment as a user.

Ban according to IP and/or iron (ban according to the MAC address) – a ban that blocks access not to your account (although it is not a fact, because they can ban it with it), but access to the EA services and games from your device. The method of such a ban is not described, but I can safely assume that this is either by IP or MAC address, but most likely the second one, because many do not have a public IP address, which means that the output IP can change and is completely attached to the gateway with a huge number of local users, and the MAC address is only one and it is tied to the user’s network interface, but this is banned by buyingnetwork card or IP change through such a tool as VPN. Only now, I think, this can only entail even greater consequences, because the company does not describe what unauthorized access is in its understanding and can calculate such actions violating the user agreement.

Cancellation of EA rights – quite extensive term, but very simple. Remember the item about the review of licenses? Technically, EA can take your license from you, but cancellation is used as similar sanctions. Let’s go back and recall that the license gives us the right to use and so on, which does not violate the user agreement. Only now an interesting moment that you may have a license, but the right right on it. EA is entitled, as a sanction, to take your right to the game, additional. Content and so on, by the time closing your access to the game FOREVER.

Ban games on the account, by IP/Mac – I do not see the point of painting, these are the same actions described above on the topic of banks, but already with the use of not the entire account, but for the game or service (for example, forum). The game is not taken from you. Ban or temporary, or forever.

Warning – The best punishment. EA will just warn you and ask you not to do it anymore.

It is important to remember that all of the above punishment, in addition to termination, enhance subsequent punishments and the chance of deactivation of the account increases.

Other interests

In fact, we have already dismantled the most important points, but I would like, as in the case of FAN A fact about Japan, to describe other banal ones here and there is no eula section.

Well, let’s start with the fact that EA completely deleted Origin from a user agreement as a client application for loading and starting games. Now all this, including a license check, is engaged exclusively with EA App. Announcement of other applications from all this paragraph may be interesting, because EA directly says that the EA App can perform another application that in the future can be released to replace the current.

Each game has a serial number and it is tied to only one account, but nothing prevents you from starting the game from another computer. To do this, EA introduces the condition that the user can run the game from 5 different devices in 24 hours. If this limit is exceeded, then you violate the user agreement

We already know that EA can take away the right to use or license that gives this right. Well, EA uses different technical means to combat cheaters and pirates and in case of facts of unauthorized copying or use of cheats, the company is recalling a license through the termination of its action.

In addition, a means to combat cheats, of course during a network game, can track and collect your gameplay, the operational memory of the device, running processes, visual data, messaging and file storage. In addition, these funds are also used to ensure compliance with the rules of conduct.

Remember the stories with NFS: Most Wanted or the first The Crew Ubisoft? Well, when they were completely cut out of the store? Well, in Eula there is a point about such moments. EA can stop access to EA services, and almost everything is included there as we recall, but the company undertakes to warn about this in a month. After the termination, the company ceases to accompany the game somehow, that is, no updates and guarantees of functioning.

By the way, where do you live? If you are from EEZ countries (European economic zone), the United Kingdom or Switzerland, then EA undertakes to represent services at a professional level, and if you are not from these countries, then. Here according to the canon of free software, only the games are not free, stupidly “as it is”. I took this fact from a huge section with responsibility, so it will be easier for me to not even scree the original, but stupidly throw the link – *pumpk *.

By the way, again about the features of the location. If you live in Provinces of Quebec (Canada), Russia, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Member States EEZ, Great Britain and the Republic of Korea, you can sleep calmly. If all the same is not, then let’s go in order.

First of all, when disputes between you and the company arise, you or the company undertake to resolve them within a month (there are exceptions in Australia, but they are all associated with violation of copyright or licensing law). If it does not succeed, then you or EA have the right to file a lawsuit in the arbitration court. There is only one point: if you live in the United States, you can contact any of your district arbitration court, and if from conditional Japan, then only to the Court of County San Mateo, the state of California. As you know, the company complicates the decision of all disputes through the court if you are not from the United States, but not from the above states on which Section 15 does not work.

Ok, conditionally, we are from the USA, could not agree with EA and decided to go to court. What awaits us? Well, look, if we find more disagreements with EA, who also could not agree, then we have no right to file a collective or representative lawsuit, and the court cannot be carried out in the jury court format. This kind of courts and claims are allowed only in countries, which do not apply to section 15, that is, in the above.

Ok, the court passed. Now let’s talk about the consequences. The agreement does not say what will happen in case of the victory of EA, but it is painted in the case of our victory. If we are awarded in an amount exceeding (in monetary equivalent) the latest proposal of EA, presented in writing and presented before the company submitted its applications for consideration to the arbitrator, then EA undertakes to pay 150% of this amount of this amount, but not exceeding $ 5,000, as well as reimburse all judicial (arbitration) losses. This is still a small part from the topic about the court, you can completely read here – *pumpk *

Well, the last interesting point is that if you are a PlayStation user and you are in the jurisdiction of its subsidiary Sony Interactive Entertainment Network Europe Limited in the European region (as we know each company have its own division of regions, so it’s not a fact that you are about the EU countries)The user agreement is not with EA, but with just European Sony.

Honestly, I thought that it would be a microblog, but it turned out that I was writing it since July 24, although it was not much in a hurry, and it is far from small: both in the direct and figurative sense, because the study of the intricacies of the agreement is also laborious, so I ask you to become my plus and put a plus. Well, if you like my blogs, then subscribe and do not miss a single. I still have a lot of planned for you:

It’s time to say goodbye. Below you can read past blogs that could skip. Good luck and so far!

The best comments

Well, not really. If you work in the office and work as a sisadmin, technician and others, then you have to read these licenses every time. Because of this, my habit of just reading a user agreement developed because of this.

For plus – thanks!

Thank you, it was interesting. About 10 years I have already been burying at least somehow study the issue. I somehow studied.

Well, not really. If you work in the office and work as a sisadmin, technician and others, then you have to read these licenses every time

Fact, but not always-I myself am officely server Sisadminil from 2011 to 2018. Depends on the office.

Well, here I’m xs. Maybe, but you yourself know what they can come with a check and check for the availability of an established unlicensed software. In general, at work I use only free or allowing Commercial USE soft.

Regarding what is suitable as not always – GPL, BSD and MIT licenses, because their conditions do not change, which means it is pointless to read them if you already know the conditions (except BSD, but about it just below). Apache is at times, because the author, in rare cases, can put an unpleasant point. BSD can also be thrown out of your conditions, but there you can not limit it by use, because this violates the principle of BSD licenses itself.

Well, we also have a bunch of commercial, but if what for ourselves or network tasks, then we have to use free. In general, I don’t really complain, because you yourself understand that in fact there is no need for those programs that users have, but everything is free, especially xfreerdp, IPFW, Openssh and others.

In general, yes. The community has long written a bunch of cool tools. Many of them are non -narrowed users, as it was written by skill in IT for skill in IT (at least knowing how the command line with its syntax works and where Man is located), but nevertheless.

Why look for him? If you are on Fryha, usually all the programs set by you are fighting through the Man [program] team, but it is worth noting that MANs do not always help to solve the problem. IPFW has two mana generally: standard (which you drive through MAN and is on the MAN subdomain) and a new one, which is generally a fig painted. In any case, if manans do not help, then the good old forum freeBSD helps, because during the existence of Fryha there are so many problems that the solution is easier to find on the forum.

You can read it at any time for you)

Thanks for the constructive, but in general I have such a manner of writing. I am not writing any scientific work on a cyberlenine or such, because of which I see no reason to worry and write at the expense of this. When I write blogs, I try to bet on communicating with the reader, as Peter Lynch did (he did not ask the reader, but often addressed the reader). Someone likes it, someone does not. I do not force anyone to read such texts if they do not like a corny.

As for the agreement – I wrote that I took a rather light -day for starters. If I wanted to take a real evil, I would choose Gaijin Eula (yes, blits and close to what the strangers wrote at home), but I decided not to blame the even greater text compared to the content of the blog. In fairness, the EA agreement has interest in the framework of Japan, the USA and other countries that are in the European region, because I do not remember any company that literally forces the license to spend the purchased donat.

Well, it is worth recalling that here I specifically analyze either fan-facts or basic info, or for which you can be hit in the head and what exactly. Many when they “buy” games do not even know why they can be banned, and then go to forums or support to find out the reason. I do not rarely see how in comments of. PALLICE WAR Thunder come with the question “And for what they banned me?”.

Thank you again for a rather detailed comment and assessment. Within the framework of the agreements next time (and this someday) I will take something more interesting, but I can hardly do something with writing.

I put a plus.
But to be honest, this topic is so specific that it can be mostly interesting to lawyers and those who are strictly fan for the Civil Code and, possibly, international law.

Well, here I’m xs. Maybe, but you yourself know what they can come with a check and check for the availability of an established unlicensed software.

Can. And they came. You provide purchased licenses in the form of a bunch of prints and keys, taking everything out of the safe. Well, you walk with them while they are checking the keys to the software.

In general, at work I use only free or allowing Commercial USE soft.

Where I worked, it was a commercial milking for =) but also used Fryashny, where it was possible.

BSD can also be thrown out of your conditions, but there you can not limit it by use, because this violates the principle of BSD licenses itself.

Yes, so I also did not really bother on this topic.

Why look for him? If you are on Fryha, usually all the programs set by you are fighting through the MAN [program] team,

Private user does not know this. He is frightened by the command line so that he will clog in a corner))) I wrote about such a case.

There are several hundred thousand lives on the forum already lived by people.

AAA … I heard something about this and attempts to promote the law to the European Parliament, which is aimed at assigning property purchased on the Internet. The problem of livestock is that he, like you, identifies a license as a term from Eula with Eula himself, which is a real license according to the classification of licenses for. They simply write about other licenses in user agreements, that is, licenses for the provision of use, when the main licenses are on the software itself are the agreements.

Now I’ll try everything simple and clearly explain. Previously, when you bought a disc for a console or jewel with a game, it was a license as a guarantee that the author would not hit the yellow liquid in the head and would not take away the program for the author’s rights. The license is a document concluded in absentia between the developer, the author, and the end user about the conditions of use and so on. Now gaming developers, and in general developers, in their closed self-recorded (made by them, are usually called End-User License Agreement) licenses use the term “license” as a certain right and it turns out that you have a treatable license inside you otherwise. By virtue of this, you decided to express your opinion about the modification of software, although if the author prohibits it, and its source are enshrined in copyright, then you have no right due to an expanded concept of copyright. It is so expanded that even outside it is found, for example, if you buy a pack of Lays and simply replace the chips inside with your own, and then you will sell it – this is a violation of copyright. Also from the software, but stricter, due to a very flexible copyright law, because even having given you a copy, he has the right to withdraw it if there were no contracts with you. By virtue of this, it was invented as in the case of music, cinema and other creativity, which has specific authors, that is, they created licenses, but not between the author and the company, but between the user and the developer. By virtue of what we now have as free (public property, permissive and copyleft) and proprietary (closed, usually presented in the form of self -release) license. I will repeat my Take again that if everything was like Scott Ross speaks, there would be no WTFPL license.

In addition, Scott himself says that if Eula does not violate the law, then it really. What he brought as a judicial practice is a direct violation of the law in EULA, but not on the topic of ownership and copyright, but on the topic of patenting by the mechanism and in. Until now, a controversial topic, because the same Warner Bros has been able to condent the use of AI technologies as Nemesis in games. Usually, EULA try to write under a bunch of laws, the same example with EA and a collective claim, where almost the entire European region, including the Russian Federation, have the right to collective protection in their arbitration courts

I also want to add that in agreements, including EA, the term “service” usually does not appear in relation to games. They can be part of a self -proclaimed term by the type of “EA services”, but this does not apply to the term service as a service.

I didn’t read the blog either 🙁

Not true for my part or legal side of the agreement? I just briefly set out the content in relation to games in EA Eula and even attached the original text.

This is absolutely, dramatically not true, and it has been sucked for a long time, in the views of laws, in thousands of disputes and comments, as well as in Ross Scott Game as a Service.

Of course, I did not look at the video, but legally everything is subtle and on the verge. The problem is that legally agreements are similar to the same signature agreements, according to the type of Microsoft 365 (ex-office), within which you are given a license with the right to use a copy and of course, depending on the publication (package). The only serious difference is unlimited time. With consoles also: you only own the device, but with it you will receive an unlimited time, a license with the right to use on.

According to the laws of the vast majority of countries, regardless of what is written in the agreement, the purchased copy in EA, Steam or any other place is a copy of the game, (not a license) is your property, and you can do everything with it, including breaking and modifying. (within the framework of the law of course).

Here you are no longer right, because in many countries there is a conditional-compulsory licensing of software, and the game is such. What is it manifested? The fact that many have the laws you have made under the law on copyright law and the author can present to anyone who received a copy, even with his permission, and force either compensate, or not use your program. By virtue of this, the process of licensing of software was invented, which gave at least some guarantee from the sudden attacks of the author of software and violation of copyright laws. If it was not so, then WTFPL licenses, which de facto completely releases the copyright, did not exist. In addition, even being the owner of a copy, you are obliged to observe a license that comes with it, especially if it is proprietary software, whose source code remains behind the developer. Even Richard Startlman at a certain moment realized how difficult everything is in legal terms with PR and created his free copulant license (GNU GPL).

You can find more about the principles of software licensing on the Internet or read on my blog, which I fixed below.

Even if you violate the rules of Steam and you will be banned, then you are in full right to request money from them for this copy or demand to transfer to a new account, if not through a request, then through the court. While the law on ownership has not been rewritten towards corporations, the court in 100% of cases sides the consumer.

And you can at least bring one judicial practice about a banner of account with paid games in Steam? I was already interested in.

Honestly, rather weak material, mainly due to the chosen agreement, but also written in the manner of speech with some other in the chat of the discord, and not as a public blog.

“OK;I understand it;eternal no-channia;essentially “and t.D. – It’s just disgusting to read. So many words of parasites per unit of text is too much.

As for the chosen agreement – a rather boring legal writer without any interesting points. Default I would say. But the Facances, the authors of Rast – the first paragraph in the agreement says “Don Bi A Dick”, well, or at least it was written. This item is quite capaciously described by the rules of behavior in the rast, that you can not toxicate, drive mom to the movie in the voice chat, draw members on signs and put off offensive nicknames for themselves.

One of the most interesting agreements in my opinion by Blizoa (Products Bluezard, not activist-Shilizard. WWII and his marching) – this is literally a contract with the devil. Your account is not yours (unlike the same EA) as games. Absolutely everything that is associated with the intellectual property of the company automatically belongs to the company, including yours, not yours, but it is more convenient to say that the clans or guilds created inside the game and create similar in another project is impossible. Your characters in games, especially in the Second World War, can be removed without announcing any reason. Even if you want to write a post with mentioning something belonging to the blitches, for example, for Reddit, then this post is the property of Blizard. Music or models inspired by the original? Cosplay? All this at the time of the creation is sent to the piggy bank. This is literally a contract with the devil and for its violation the company in the right not only to terminate the agreement, but even to conduct criminal prosecution. That’s what it was worth disassembled like an introductory blog in the heading. This is a real evil written by a legal word.

I don’t remember anyone, but it’s just a joke in the agreement that a person is obliged when accepting the agreement to write on the camera how he sang a song and the absence of this entry, because you naturally did not read what you signed – it can immediately lead to the termination of the license.

Plus I set, but without pleasure.

Very interesting, thanks.

The fact is that you really make a purchase, but not a game, but a personal, limited, indescribable, withdrawn and non -exclusive license to use the game.

Well, this is not America at all, all the commercial “server” is sold according to such a scheme, according to databases, for example. Yes, even Windows is the same. No one complains that he does not “own” an oracle instance, for example, it is clear that a license for use for a certain period is bought with additional licensing conditions. From these additional. the conditions of this depends on the price,. And dope license to support. EA just sells unlimited licenses for commercial ones as a rarity.

It is more amazing to me that EA and others did not think of licensing their games on the cores of the CPU, like the same Orakl, for example, or by GPU =)

Well, it’s also good that they do not go with an audit, how you comply with the agreement, and do not even require the installation of special. software included to a stimulus that would monitor if there are violations on a particular host. Commercial vendors do this.
