And really, are Mickey and Luke going to come to my house and forcefully uninstall the games should I break one minor point of the EULA?

I think not, though I'd probably ask for autographs if they did. And some photos. And try to get Luke drunk on margaritas so we could mess with the neighbors via unsanctioned use of the Force.
I see what you did there...

I don't know how it works under the common law system, but here in Italy these terms are sketchy at best.
As someone already pointed out, the terms indeed allow Disney to do any kind of change they want unilaterally, yet the terms recognize that, (i quote): "NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE RIGHTS AND THESE TERMS, YOUR RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW WILL PREVAIL.".
The italian law is very protective of the customer in such transactions. We have had cases of our Court of Cassation, which is the highest court in Italy, declaring modifications of hardware and software like, for instance, removing software limitations by modifying game consoles to be PERFECTLY LEGAL because the buyer is the legal owner of an object, after buying it, and can dispose of it any way he wants.
Also, i aknowledge that you wrote that you wouldn't discuss any argument about how Disney won't take any serious measures against anyone, yet it's very very unlikely that they will. You can refuse to discuss the matter, but it won't change the fact itself, therefore is in every right of other Gog users to dismiss your worries as inconsistent if not borderline paranoid because of that.
I think your criticism is understandable and it's definetely an interesting subject of discussion, and i guess that most people here would agree. What you are failing to understand is that, while your reasoning may be perfectly sound, THE WAY YOU ARE EXPRESSING IT is definetely exaggerated. We can easily discuss the matter in a calm and collected way without going all Don Quixote over Disney.

Instant buy all of the games and hope the revenue generated will be enough to convince them to sell old movies here DRM free......

DRM-free is the software running on your computer not containing code intended to restrict your usage. The domain of DRM is your computer.

EULA, terms of service, and license agreements are a form of contractual document which outlines the legal rights and responsibilities. The domain of a contract is the law/judicial system which has not been strongly tested in the US as companies have a large incentive not to allow it to be tested and tend to settle and/or drop lawsuits instead of allowing a court ruling to be made.

The EULA for software containing DRM generally includes your permission for whatever the DRM does. The EULAs for EA & LucasFilm games on GOG have their wording adjusted a bit to not be giving your permission to install DRM but to state that you are not allowed to interfere with any included DRM (so basically a null clause for the game purchased on GOG, but not necessarily if purchased elsewhere).

DRM is the means in which many software companies attempt to restrict or remove your rights. EULA/TOS/license docs are the means by which they claim legality for violating your rights. They're related, but not identical, and the lack of DRM does not protect a consumer from a bad EULA (just makes it a bit harder to be noticed/enforced by the vendor).

1. To warn others. (And towards this end many of the follow ups are needed to correct flatly false information others are posting.)

2. Hoping that maybe a few people would show the least bit of moral fibre and stand against a EULA which is clearly not designed to be a fair agreement. (And not just fake moral fibre when something's hitting their pocket book, aka regional pricing.)

And there you go, adding to the misinformation. I've already addressed this with respect to the EA EULA. The difference is that those other EULAs (to my knowledge) are actual bilateral contracts. They do not reserve the right to make unilateral changes to their contracts, after a sale has already completed, that you then must either comply with or lose the license to the software you purchased. Disney does reserve such power.

As mentioned above, reserving the right to simply change the contract after the fact is not standard.

And it may be that most people don't care about the contracts they enter into, but I find that rather disturbing, as it is hugely irresponsible and over time leads nowhere good. Contracts should mean something - they are the basis upon which a non-coersive/truly-coooperative society is built. The ignorance and apathy exhibited towards them is ignorance and apathy towards society (though most are not enlightened enough to see this).

I basically acknowledge the difficulty in detecting/enforcing the EULA in my first post. However, there is still a moral component as even if you know you can practically get away with violating the terms of a contract, you should not agree to terms if you do not plan to stick to them. (I.e., the general attitude towards contracts and their importance in society again, and the corrupting effect of just casually ignoring contracts.)

This isn't a release thread. This thread is about a new publisher, and my posts are about the terms of use that publisher is offering.

How about you stop supporting immorality and corrupting influences? (I would thank you if I thought you actually would do so.)

I'd be happy if they could even be convinced to sell the original versions of some of their old movies. Still waiting for re-release of original version of Star Wars Episode IV with high def remastering but not including altered/additional scenes in-film (wouldn't care if a bunch of deleted/extended/altered scenes from menu but not in-film).

Best...News....Ever!!! Tie Fighter is in the shopping cart, the rest will be soon! :)

What are the chances of X-Wing Alliance, Outlaws and Star Wars: Rebellion?
Will there be any more bonuses in the future for the lucasarts games?
And will you get Star Wars Pit Droids and Droidworks or will you get only direct Lucasarts titles (pit droids and droidworks are Lucas Learning, a LucasArts subsidiary).

This is probably the best news I ever read on here! :D

The LucasArts games, especially the adventures, were a big part of me becoming a gamer. A demo for 'Fate of Atlantis' was my first contact with "real" games, and I fell in love instantly. 'Fate of Atlantis' to this day has a place in my top 5 favourite games ever, and I am truly overjoyed to see it here on GOG. The other games are classics as well, and I can't wait for more LucasArts gems to follow.

Thank you, GOG, for making what I wrote off as wishful thinking a reality!

And kudos to Disney for playing along, something which I'd never thought might happen. You earned a ton of respect with this!

Oh god, Full Throttle please! :)

At long last! I finally get my chance to play X-Wing and Tie Fighter on a PC which is powerful enough to run them! But maybe not at 60fps..

I wish US law was that forward thinking and wish you well for your better local laws. That being the case, I could see less concern on your part. However, I believe the severability clause standard in licenses is likely considered valid in Italy, which would mean that every provision which is potentially problematic would need to be explicitly protected for you. It sounds like you have a much better chance of it than we do, and I have no idea Italian legal precedent, but I would consider that.

As to likelihood of enforcement, that depends. My reading of that agreement is that you're agreeing to these terms with regards to Disney and all their child companies in a way which is binding for other services they provide as well and renewing the agreement for older child company products. For example, ESPN was one of their companies, so it would be possible that if a class-action lawsuit were brought against a cable/satellite provider which involved ESPN then agreeing to this EULA might constitute sufficient cause to remove the people who agreed from the lawsuit. Not sure for Italy, but in the US class action lawsuits tend to be brought as punitive actions against companies for cheating their customers and don't really end up gaining the customers anything but warm & fuzzies and stopping the activity (for example, it's been used to stop garbage extra $1 fees for 10 million service subscribers which would be too low of an amount to sue for separately).

If you're sufficiently assured of your rights, then I congratulate you. However some of us aren't. I haven't read much of what TheJadedOne has written, and perhaps he's being a bit too confrontational, but I do agree with at least some of his base point and think it's a valid concern to attempt to at least bring up even for those who aren't impacted as an aspect of fairness on GOG's part. I don't think GOG should outright refuse to list games with EULAs, but I would hope that there's sufficient/continued pressure from us, the customers, which they can use to show the studios that restrictive EULAs are restricting their profits as well, and they should consider removing them.

If you truly want to inform other GOG customers about this, just go ahead and create a dedicated thread for it already. This isn't really the place for it, and your posts will just keep getting buried by all the people who want to express their excitement about these game releases ( which is mostly what this thread is for ).

Also, it would help if you could stop claiming that everyone else is stupid and uneducated, just because they don't agree with you, or don't care for this whole EULA issue. Because that usually has the effect that people completely disregard whatever you have to say, whether or not it is relevant.

Or you know, just keep going at it. Whatever works for you.

Make that purchased and downloaded. ;)
