Witty Ranter #14

In this episode, Adam apologizes up front for apparently eating his mic during recording.  But past that, he brings Scott Hartsman, formerly of SOE and now working on a project at www.ohai.com, Philip & Steven from The Warpath podcast, and last but not least we have Riknas from the Free Play podcast.  The discussion points today were about EULA's, TOS's and DRM.  EULA's came back into the news when Mark Jacobs at EA/Mythic said we had to read through it or accept it every time we logged in.  This is an important topic because EULA's are just as important to us players as they are to the companies.  Topics covered include:

-When you pay $50.00 for that CD Key & Client, do you own it? (You might be surprised at the answer)
-What protections do players get from the EULA vs the protections game companies have?  Is it a fair balance?
- We go into the history of EULA's, thanks to Scott and Stephen, who just happens to be getting into the field of contract law!  We also learn the exact percentage that attorneys lose their soul (apologies to all those attorneys who somehow managed to escape this process)
- And finally we go into some discussion on DRM, brought up from the little issue that showed up with Spore.
- Oh yeah, ohai's hiring!  Listen to the end of the show for details :)

Thanks for listening!  We're always looking for more iTunes reviews :)

Thanks again to Coldheat for supporting the show!  You sir, are most Witty :)
