video games older than 10-15 years should be legally required to open their source code to the public

im not joking btw games we play as kids should be open to study, learn from, and mess around with by the time we grow up. art is built on art built on art and video games are the same

i was reading about visual novel history and ended up browsing the website of Japan's Computer Software Ethics Organization. they don't like piracy, you might say. they are histrionic freaks, you might also say

aside from the headline the body pillow post isn't that interesting, but here are some scintillating details of, i think, arresting a kid for streaming a downloaded PC game online in 2013

In this case, a person who did not purchase the official product illegally obtained game software data from the Internet and streamed a detailed live video of the game's introduction, startup, and main content. Ta. In addition, while transmitting the process of illegal acts, they repeatedly incited copyright holders and repeatedly made statements to justify their own illegal acts in a way that involved viewers on the Internet. As a result, the damage, including reputational damage, was unprecedented.

i really like their term "victim company", as in "victim company: Clear Blue Communications Co., Ltd." they also clown on the evil, debased pirate streamer:

Now, in real society, people who are meek, timid, or quiet may repeatedly make bold statements on the Internet. This type of person is sometimes called an net Benkei'', although this is similar to the inner Benkei'' in the real world. As the investigation by the Fukushima Prefectural Police progressed, the university students' bold statements stopped, suggesting that the university students were also ``Internet Benkei.''
