In der Tat dürfte eine so kurzfristige Abschaltung illegal sein - als #Piraten-Abgeordneter habe ich jetzt bei der EU-Kommission eine offizielle Einschätzung angefordert.
Wir #Piraten fordern allgemein, dass verwaiste Software von der Community übernommen werden darf! Viel genutzte Software ist mehr als nur ein Produkt im Regal.

Indeed, such a short-term shutdown should be illegal under EU law. As a #Pirate Member of the EU Parliament, I have now requested an official assessment by the EU Commission.
We #Pirates generally advocate for a right of the community to take over orphaned software. Widely used software is more than just a product on the shelf - we need to make manufacturers understand this!

> No, we would not require the company to give up any of its intellectual property rights[sic], simply to allow players who purchased the game to continue running it. In no way would that involve the publisher forfeit any intellectual property rights[sic].
That's a big disappointment. This campaign might still be a step in the right direction, but we precisely should demand publishers to release abandoned games as #FreeSoftware
