And your assertion that it is actually how it works if some big company would just challenge it is just not true.I don't even disagree that IP laws could stand to be updated, but these ideas are just totally off the wall. FarSight isn't running an arcade. They're selling a product. They absolutely can be told that they can't generate new unlock codes, tiny little amounts of code, code being a physical product going by your own definition. Code is the digital commodity that's being sold to you when you buy a table. Just like how a physical licensee can no longer generate new physical tables once their license expires.</blockquote>
