I have no qualms with downloading games you purchase online; The problem is when you just own a license or temporary copy. <br /><br />If you own a license, it can be changed whenever the company decides and it may be restricted to certain computers, etc.. If it's a temporary copy, then you're paying (usually) a good fraction of the full price for something you can never view again.Wizard of LOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521577295858381791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598080398130270621.post-61218933947733383702010-09-30T23:01:01.010-07:002010-09-30T23:01:01.010-07:00Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy in the states.
