Sacred Symbols+, Episode 357 | The Fight for Your Digital Content
Added 2023-12-20 17:00:06 +0000 UTCOver the past few months on Sacred Symbols, the debate between physical and digital games has raged on. While there have been valid points on both sides, it’s become clear with recent content delisting and PSN ban fiascos that we need some clarity on what our digital rights are and the agreements we’ve made with digital content distributors. So, naturally, we had to bring on Last Stand’s legal analyst, Rick Hoeg of Hoeg Law, and Virtual Legality to enlighten us. What are we agreeing to in an EULA? What does “buy” actually mean in a digital storefront? Do we have any means of legal defense against these companies if wrongfully banned? If you like getting into some legal nitty-gritty, this episode is for you.

That's probably a stolen PS5. Kinda shitty honestly. The only reason I was able to get mine back was I had the serial number and it pinged at a pawn shop. Took over a year to get it back and was a complete nightmare

2023-12-24 17:38:17 +0000 UTCI bought a PS5 that was banned at a pawn shop for $100, it plays all physical games , downloads entire game if the download is online and updates them. It also plays astros playroom game. It does no let you go online to log on psn.

2023-12-21 13:08:12 +0000 UTCI just had an issue with digital content recently with Audible removing a couple of books from my library that I had paid for. I only found out because I went to listen to them again and they were gone. I've now backed up all of my books to my PC.

2023-12-20 19:32:50 +0000 UTCThis was definitely a huge problem on Twitter for a long time Don’t streamers get banned from games like League of Legends solely because the devs don’t like them?

2023-12-20 18:22:49 +0000 UTCRE: companies randomly banning people cuz they just don’t like you. One would argue that we’ve seen social media companies dabbling that, and other companies doing it for political reasons. There’s an argument that, without protections, any company could start banning people for those reasons.

2023-12-20 17:59:05 +0000 UTCIt is really odd reading reports of PSN accounts being banned for seemingly no reason If that happened to me, I’d be wrecked. I understand licensing stuff creating weirdness for some digital libraries, but a blanket ban causing me to lose all my digital ownership on PlayStation is a scary thought
