This is the most Lemmy ass thread imaginable.

A bunch of wannabe hipsters thinking that they're so enlightened. Because being against the grain is the height of personality.

What you're describing is basically what happens. Only between the claimant and the government.

Also worth noting that this only applies when a company closes (is removed from the company register) and any IP isn't transferred out of the company. And in most cases it is full ownership.

So as far as the law is concerned there is no ownership of that IP. Copyrights, trademarks, patents, whatever it might be. But that doesn't mean people don't have a claim.

By moving it to a government entity that is specifically set up to deal with these claims.

It removes any ambiguity. The government can make a clear cut ruling on who owns the IP.

Because "The Crown" is just the government. And unlike a private citizen the government won't use these IPs.

There are only two things the government can do with an IP in this situation, declare someone with a valid claim as the owner, or sell it to a buyer. Who in both cases have to come to the government.

If no claims or offers are made the IP will eventually enter the public domain.

Well in this case. No one actually knows who owns the rights to the DiscWorld games. Unless something has changed in the last year.

We're also talking about a game licensing another entity's IP.

But let's assume that we do know. You can't declare something in the public domain without knowing who owns it.

"the crown" is just a government entity. Anyone seriously thinking that Charles benefits from this is an idiot plain and simple.

Other countries have a similar system. Instead of having the IP rights up in the air where nobody knows who owns what. The ownership of the IP is clearly defined, half original creator half government. The crown's only option in regard to this IP is to sell or dispose of it.

It's there to prevent mass legal cases about who owns what when a company closes.

Not strictly true.

Pistols are allowed in Northern Ireland, and are subject to the same licences and regulations as rifles and shotguns.

And there are some pistols that are designed to comply with regulations and can be bought.

But how else will I show off the giant stick up my ass.

What can you say gamers love anti-Semitism.

That's sort of the situation in the UK, or at least where I'm at.

We'll take the car back at any time without warning while outwardly presenting it as you purchasing the car outright

Sounds like you should start reading the terms and conditions.

Because again you don't understand simple language and think JAQing off is a more appropriate way to get answers than doing a simple search on your own.

Almost as if I'm doing it on purpose. But that can't be the case, can it?

Lawmakers and people smarter than you

Hopefully smart enough to fully read a Wikipedia article.

Well, whenever I rent a car, I am agreeing to a rental agreement that outlines the terms. Length of time, extremely fees, and the cost of renting.

If I buy digital media through an online storefront. I am also agreeing to terms. Which in certain cases will see me buying a licence to the media rather than a copy of it.

What I am confused about is how it is fine to steal digital media but not physical items.

I'm talking about the Eurovision entry. I think you misunderstood.

G@mers can't read.

"if buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing"

I'm still confused how this only applies to digital media. In both cases I am agreeing to terms of services.

If they are so willing to believe something so utterly ridiculous. It doesn't paint the best picture for them.

I'm not owning the car after payment. And I have to follow criteria when using the car.

So why is that not ok?

BRB in my to keep a rental car without paying.

Can he get the swagger of a black teenager right though.

It was a fake "controversy" to draw sales and engagement.

I'm talking about the Ubisoft quote.

Won it with a broken neck too.
