And Mike, your right. I am an idiot, and your an a$$hole. Get bent.]]>Nov 2nd 2007 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/
Second, even if Tim did accept the license, there has to be a condition in it that Tim violated before Rockstar can, as you put it, "rescind" it. And I would be really surprised if the Rockstar lawyer was omniscient enough to put in a provision that said "if you accidentally buy this before the release date, you have to give it back."

Finally, your misguided opinion that a company can terminate a license at any time for any reason is exactly what newgalactic is talking about. This is incorrect. What do you think you are paying for when you buy software? In order for the software vendor to terminate, you have to breach a condition of the license. The vendor cannot just terminate on a whim.

I think he should ransom it for ONE MILLION dollars.

I do think its cool what happened and how he picked up on it. I would have tried selling it on Ebay as well.

Oh, and to newgalactic:
If they are only selling a license, then you dont own it (unfortunately). Dont blame the RIAA, blame Microsoft. They started the licensing movement when they licensed DOS to IBM.]]>Nov 1st 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 2nd 2007 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/
BUT the only way to be taken seriously is to protest in peace. Im not going to go all radical, because no one wants to listen to you. Sure, I rarely pay for music, and my name is on the Free Press list for about EVERYTHING, but Im not going to go for some of the nonsense people do.

Its their material, they have the right to license it how they want. My only gripe with the system is that they license it, we break the license, the RIAA sues, and the artist doesnt see a cent. In fact, they pay to be a member of the Recording Industry! That doesnt seem fair to me! ]]>Nov 2nd 2007 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/Nov 1st 2007 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/best-buy-sells-rock-band-a-little-early/especially when your not not entirely right.
