Old RS DLC?

[Aric]

I was wanting to buy Megadeth pack 1, but after looking further it was delisted due to liscensing reasons. Is there a possible way for me to still get this dlc, like as a CDLC or something?

I mean thats granted, but if I were to pirate it I wouldnt feel like it would be wrong. If it were still on Steam I would have bought it and I have bought tons of other DLC.

I went to the Apple store to buy an iPhone but they ran out of the model I wanted. But if I were to steal one I wouldn't feel like it would be wrong. If the model was still available. I would have bought it and I would have bought tons of other stuff too.

imo to be honest if they removed it off the shelf i would pirate it. if they didnt remove it i would throw my money at them.

so to be honest its their lost not yours. but when u pirate u do it at your own risk

But here's the thing, there's a huge difference between a 3 dollar dlc that is literally impossible to get now than a very expensive device that will be available some other time.

You are missing the point. It is not the cost that is the issue, it is the logic of your rationalization.

Your analogy is dumb. Rocksmith is going to slowly become abandonware as the music licenses dry up. It's nothing like stealing a phone.

All musicians steal from each other, one way or another. There's no shame here, lol.

I didn't get what you meant with this. But I would publish my work as open source if I were unable to monetize it. Sure, Ubi can't publish the used music, and they hope to charge for their tabs in RS+. So yeah, no way in this case. But at least, they could show some effort to mitigate the impact they cause on the RS title with all this delisting stuff.

Spin is your justification for doing something that maybe you really shouldn't be doing. You could say it's your excuse. In your case "But all musicians steal from each other..."

It's you the one who keeps insisting that using CDLC is the same as rob people. I just pointed out a flaw in your logic.

All things come to an end. These songs have been available for sale for TEN YEARS. If you haven't bought them yet then that's on you. You can continue to use RS 2014 for as long as you maintain a system to run it on. Companies move on.

I personally already bought everything I wanted two or so years ago, maybe even more that makes sense to learn in RS. But I have to say that Steam is full of old games that use third-party music and that's not an issue. Ubi just found a reason and executed it in the way they like. Licenses are nothing but an excuse here.

Yeah, I just made sure that nothing had changed. You probably should find a way to pay royalty every time you play someone else's arrangements. Otherwise, it's not fair to use them for a fixed price.

To me the question comes down to are you using somebody else’s property with their permission or not?

No, I don't ask for permission to watch websites or YT videos. I reasonably assume that all rights are reserved. The same is with CDLC. Anyone who concerns can take them down. And I see no reason to doubt this.

What if I didn't own the game for ten years? It's available for purchase this very moment.
If something isn't easily available, people will pirate it (goes the other way as well). That's the lesson Napster and Spotify told/tell us.
Also: Stealing from big cooperations (especially those with a history of internal r*pe-culture) - not that morally wrong. When Robin Hood stole from the rich it was moral as well, wasn't it?
