 |  Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine Valve has failed to convince a court that it didn't infringe EU law by geo-blocking activation keys, according to a new ruling. The company argued that, based on copyright law, publishers had the right to charge different prices for games in different countries. However, the EU General Court confirmed that its geo-blocking actions "infringed EU competition law"and that copyright law didn't apply. https://www.engadget.com/valve-fails...5.html?src=rss |
