    Quoted for truth. Especially since SE have been known to breach Australian trade law in our market in the past by region-locking (most of the industry does, so they become somewhat powerless as a result if someone here pirates their game). I'm guessing it is less to do with legal issues and more to do with not wanting to find out about possible legal issues.

    Ack, nothing quite like bold font to point out a typo XD *Fixes "approach out politicians" to be the intended "approach our politicians"*

    Your guess seems right on the mark but if anyone has a solid legality issue we could address, I'd certainly be willing to write a hand written letter (something that would cause me physical pain because of poor muscle and motor skill issues that cause excess strain in hand, arm and back when writing, but that's just how serious I am) to anyone who may have the ability to remedy that issue. I've tried looking for such details myself but with such a vague concept of what could be blocking them, I could read a hundred pieces of legislation, not understand a single word of the legalese and still not be able to find the problem.
