Ross Scott talking about The Crew's future server shutdown making the game unplayable for people who bought it or received it for free. He wants to see if a lawsuit is possible because of how fast technology is outpacing the law and needs help with who to contact.

There needs to be something done about software IP, because copyright is broken for performance-based works let alone software. Software companies want to safeguard their precious games for two human lifespans but they completely abandon them in a single digit number of years. Hell there's software younger than me that is technically still copyrighted, but just go try to find who legally owns the rights. Find me one person who still thinks they holds the rights to a CP/M game.
