    More people are pirating everyday. There will be cracks to all games.

    It shouldn’t be narrowly focused on just video games. Should simply be anything digital.

      Babysteps? Maybe if it is about video games, the old people won’t know enough about it and pass it, which would make it easier to expand to any digital software.

      Scoped in a way to get press and hopefully positive attention before voting starts in a week or so.

      Agreed, but if passed it would set a significant precedent that would surely have to flow onto all/other digital media.

      If a bad person supports a good cause, that doesn’t make the cause bad.
