I remember to swear by megaupload because all the other upload sites uses extremely sketchy ads and allow the fake download buttons.

Now Jdownloader is the only way for me to download non-torrents


the way we share payment info to sites is so backwards is the reason despite all the problems paypal had, it still provide a lot of value.


compared to legal sites stealing your personal data after telling you (it’s buried among the 100+ pages TOS you agreed to)


even if it’s not. There’s just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There’s a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.

Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.


pirates just need to for a while pretend to post in a way that piracy is really no more so they stop doing anything about it.


probably easier to mess with the projector so it records a local file that is a copy of what is being projected, which would already been decrypted. With this if you can infiltrate the DRM company you only need the schematics of the projector, not an active malware to steal new keys.


Alternatively, we have this arbitrary standard of 9am means morning, if we share a single universal time, different places would just have a different arbitrary time being the “morning” instead.


it would require government intervention. Where a regulation must declare that ads must clearly be labelled as ads, so that adjustments can be made by detecting when is the ad segment happening.


the leaker in question is about people like a qa tester or someone who got an early access review.


it’s a weird case where it only uses steam API and does not hard check it. It attempts to check if the currently associated steam account is allowed to play it and shuts down if you don’t, but does not do anything else if it can’t detect an account (such as if you have no steam) and launch normally.
