Gamer's Bill of Rights

[MajorMcCain]

This came up in a post I made a while ago regarding one of EA's latest advertisement schemes for RA3.

I was making a point, but that's a different tale. The reason for this is that, that Bill has been updated by Stardock.
If anyone else finds this interesting and hopes it gets ratified then feel free to discuss.
