    You need to think on a Macro scale with stuff like this. The fact is that this voice got loud enough to get a response, and thats how the ball gets rolling.

    Most politicians wouldnt consider the videogamers and tech crowd to be a great demographic to chase, but if theres one politician who needs an identity… one who thinks “I can be the “Pro-consumer rights” member. Videogames just being shut off, rights to books and movies you “bought” just being revoked…yeah thats a cause thats hard to argue against. Makes me look like a champion of the people. Especially young people.”

    It got a “Yes, we heard you.” It doesnt mean you stop.

      The point I’m trying to make is obviously there are no laws for it currently. That’s why a petition gathered enough signatures to warrant a response. “There’s currently no requirement” feels like a non-answer. That and the department then goes on to run defence for these corporations citing cost; indicating a misunderstanding of the movement. For sure agree that this is just the start and to keep going though.
