If this goes through, I expect a closer look will be taken on other predatory practices concerning selling software (which games ultimately are) and possibly a precedent allowing to clearly put a hard stop to American understanding of "copyright" (as a "right to copy") and full embracement of native European originated "authorship rights", backed by current existing law for many many years in many of the members states. US anti-piracy organizations will not be happy, so following this line of thought - please prepare for a hard, dirty, unfair fight, with suspicious figures appearing with their backing to sabotage our efforts.

Longshot, but with this said, VP mentions SKG? Thatโ€™s good, we need publicity! Let them understand we cannot be ignored and you donโ€™t mess with gamers who were trained by their love for gaming to be stubborn, resilient and never give up.

This is important:

โ€ฆ but it's clear MEPs are becoming aware that they need to engage with the issue and work out where they stand.
