European Consumer Centre Austria rules Geo-Lock as illegal

[ThePeteCrazy]

The European Consumer Centre Austria just declared that it is in fact illegal for a Game to restrict its Installation and Usability via Regionlock.. In Austria there are no Laws forbidding Nazi Symbolics and the Mentioning of Nazi Regime"The "prohibition of restrictions" indicates that restrictions on the provision of services within the European Union for nationals of EU Member States are prohibited without exception. Access to the free market must not be impeded by national regulations."

 

The Fact that there is no Law against Nazi Symbolic in Austria makes the Geo-Locking of Imported Wares from other EU States illegal..

 

Wolfenstein just gave in!! Power to the People

A brief search tells me that the only thing the ECC does is offer advice. They don't make declarations of legality, they're not a court.
