1. Europe GANG

2. Done, takes like 20 seconds to sign.

3. > First off, the work of all those programmers, artists, writers, animators, modelers, and everyone else who labored on a game, maybe for years, is gone forever

   This is such a garbage argument.  The exact same thing happens when a building is torn down or remodeled and no one whines about how much effort the construction crew put into it.

   > Killing a game is also anti-consumer because, y’know… people bought that game.

   This is the real problem, and complaining about the first point really takes away from the actual issue at hand.

4. Gamers, rise up!

5. Bump, more people meeds to see this

6. Copyright exists to encourage works that will eventually enter the public domain.

   Works getting copyright protections which never enter the public domain is a violation of human rights.
