Video Games Europe, a trade association that represents a bunch of major game publishers, have issued a statement pushing back against Stop Killing Games.
It is legal, therefore that’s the hurdle we need to get over. If you don’t want it to be legal, fight to make it illegal, or don’t use/buy the product.
But people pre-order video games at record numbers despite everyone with a brain saying that they shouldn’t, so they’re SOL either way.
Trying to side-step copyright isn’t going to get you what you want. You’re fighting an uphill battle with fewer resources.
You keep ignoring the question. The question is not “is it legal” but “should it be legal”.
Because petitions are about changing laws. They are the process through which the population can ask for a law change.
I have no idea why you keep bringing up copyright. Copyright is not a magical “get out of jail free” card that excempts you from following the law. It literally has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, same as whether this is legal right now or not. Your comments are constantly offtopic.

Don’t forget the whole discussion started about a movement to change the law. That’s what SKG is, thats what Videogames Europe is scared of.
We have a chance to change the law here.

Because the question ignores reality. I’m not going to bathe in hypotheticals.
So I’m going to ignore your question, since it’s pointless.
Want to make it not legal? Understand that it’s currently legal, and go from there.
