  • A few general traffic laws apply:

    1: The UFO is not a legally registered road vehicle and they must yield to all traffic.

    2: If you see a hazardous situation, like the UFO not clearly following traffic laws giving you space, you must do your part to avoid injury by avoiding a collision.

    So after you do brake for the UFO, or swerve and honk, you may go to the police and inform them of the aliens’ traffic violation. They may then get a fine.

    If you say “fuck it Im in the right” and crash into them, you are both breaking the law, but you are in bigger trouble for willfully endangering life and property. You get prison, the aliens get a fine.








  • True, with some modifications:

    Some games had online activation built in. Some games would simply not install on a second or third machine without getting permission from the publisher.

    Regular CDs have a lifespan of 5-10 years, shorter if not stored ideally. Almost all games had sophisticated mechanisms to prevent backups being taken.

    Even if you could take a backup, record associations and publishers lobbied to make it illegal and punishable by severe fines in many countries.

    Sony shipped fucking root kits on their CD that would hijack your PC and screw with backup software. EA shipped CDs with autoexexuting software that would actually delete CloneCD and other CD copying software and prevent new installes from working. My copy of Sims 2 came with that bullshit and OH MAN I was not happy about it.
