Well, legally it is simple. The company not providing the support paid for by the customers. German law is fortunately pretty simple and protects customers as much as companies. The reasons why services are not provided are secondary in nature, and not within the scope of responsibility of the customer since he basically only has to provide a functioning PC, and a working internet connection. Point.
BTW, the car example is quite different from the situation here. But John might of course detail his thoughts behind the analogy. Clearly his car dealer is not in the same situation as Ubisoft. Though if his provided alarm system was malfunctioning or inadequate, then his situation could look similar.
All this, however, does not mean that I do not condone this alleged act of piracy (is there any independent confirmation now or not? Why is everybody here seemingly always so uncritical towards sources and references?). Sure it is bad and total nonsense if it is true.
