Saw a article on a large number of gamers being over 55 and then I saw this which I believe needs to be addressed in our current laws.

My best friend died a few years ago. He was a dumbass with his passwords and I did tech support for him a few times, so I knew his password. It's nice to be able to share his games with friends (many of whom already had library sharing set up, but it needs to be redone if a sharee switches devices, I think). I was talking about this issue to some friends recently, because we were lucky to have my friend's details. How grim it is to be on the forefront of this question, eh?
