When the worst guy you know makes a great point.

Just don't search this guy's name to see what other policies he has supported up until election season.
Looks like he's a self-avowed Zionist who has predictably bad positions on Isreal, is a cryptocurrency backer, and reneged on his support for defund the police. Anything I missed?
At age 38, he’s also nearly 20 years younger than the median member of the House, most of whom were born before Pong was released.
There's your real problem!
One of many.
I'd argue it is a massive problem. Your legislative branch is so far behind the times that it isn't even funny anymore - they do not have any real insight into what is happening and why. I understand that you do not have to be an expert at IT stuff to be a good legislator, but your experience should at least reflect the experience of a common member of society, and they are so far away from that that it hurts my brain.
It is a massive problem, but it's still one of many massive problems.
Agreed their experience should reflect a commoner's experience. Hence why I will always say it is 100% BS that they get their own special health insurance, and many other such unfair things.
many critters-of-congress were buying the OG pong for their (now mid-50s in age) kids..
We own the disk, not the intellectual property. We use the intellectual property that's on the disc we own.
This is not a difficult concept for either regulators or the game industry to wrap their tiny minds around.
AH:
Ritchie Torres learns what copyright is in 12 real time hours
I appreciate that the game example they gave complies with the legislation they spoke of.

Funny how so many super-popular & obviously good for constituents legislation proposals get announced shortly before an election, but almost never actually make it into the law books. It's so obvious, it's cringe.
He’s had a long time to push that legislation. Waited for that genocide money to keep him interested.
I can't tell what makes me cringe more. This politician announcing a "Gamers Rise Up Act" a month before election, clearly pandering for votes, or the non-zero number of sad men who will actually vote for him because video games.
This AIPAC freak tried to call a Jewish comedian antisemitic for not supporting Israel's genocide
Making this limited to just video games is stupid. This practice spans so many industries, including cars now with remote shutoff abilities.
Israel paid for Ritchie Torres, Israel owns Ritchie Torres.
