I would like to understand why a community centered around sharing, mostly the sharing of code in the form of open source programs, is so much against sharing compiled code of proprietary software and video games.
To me these are essentially the same thing, except in the first case someone writes code and shares it and in the second case someone buys a video game and shares it. I bought it, I legitimately acquired the information that makes up a video game, so on which basis can I be restricted from using, sharing or exchanging it? Wouldn't that be a violation of my freedom of expression?
