As an Anti DRM Gamer who really does not buy Games featuring Boot/RootKit i wonder if itd be possible to consider somehow a Ban against Denuvo, VM Protect and all these other Bullshit DRMs that go into your System and arent just tied to some kind of Online Service like the Steam Store for Example >.>
Would that even be feasable in the EU considering that we got osme Stricter Laws than lets say the US regarding Multi Media Content :P

Approximately impossible.

We need regulation that states all paid software DRM must be removed from software after X time, probably more that says source code must be provided after Y time.

I’m fine with the former being 5 years but the latter I understand as more of a 10 year thing. Zero reason I can think of to not force shit like this. Copyright and patent law needs to change.

They can make the time limit start from the first sale.
