I'm fairly confident that in the EU, and still AFAIK in the UK, this wouldn't be legal. In the UK this is the Unfair Contract Terms Act. The EU legislation is linked below. The schedule of unfair term includes

@tokensane @gamingonlinux i'm also shure that in #Germany, this would be considered #theft by the platform holder and that doing so would at the very least make them subject to reimbursing all the costs associated with getting a replacement media!
But sadly no lawyer woll make that case unless the damages are 4-digits so it's worth their time...
