Benefit of the doubt: Stern has been under pressure from licensors to protect their assets. The EULA is just “proof” to licensors that they’re doing their best to protect them. But in reality they have no intention of enforcing it, knowing full well it would be almost impossible to do so. Also knowing full well enforcement is not in their interest.
Quoted from Dr-pin:You know this?
Are you part of management at stern?
Why cant this be enforced when pinball goes internet?
As I said, “benefit of the doubt”. I don’t know anything for sure, I’m just choosing to give Stern some leeway based on my experience with Stern and in this hobby.
Quoted from WJxxxx:I haven't bought the movie, nor given any money to Disney in anyway shape or form - but I can get the assets in to my JP2 without paying anything for it. I am literally getting it for free.
Surely that isn't fair usage by the person who distributed the movie asset
Well you bought the game so they got something. But yeh, Stern didn’t pay for the clips, so they’re not getting as much as they should be.
Quoted from WJxxxx:Not if I bought the machine second hand
But they got something at some point as per the license agreement.
The other issue is they have no control over how the assets are presented. We hear stories about how protective companies like Disney are about their properties. Seeing these unapproved mods being streamed for the world to see would piss them off no end and kind of defeats the purpose of them being rigorous with their license in the first place.
Quoted from djb_rh:It doesn't matter what they like or don't like. If I want to screw a post into the playfield between the flippers and make it curse at me, they can't stop me. And I see no reason why they should be able to stop me from streaming myself doing stupid things if I want to, either. *shrug*

Until you stream it and then you’re screwing with their property ie. The license.
