Fair enough. Thanks for the clarity.

Oh, was that it? I’d heard someone had hacked the EL Twitter account. That’s even dumber. Thanks for the correction and highlighting how much dumber the fallout was, luckily my misunderstanding didn’t take away from the main point.

In regards to how precedent can fuck over future decisions, could this now cause issues for libraries in the future?

It certainly sounds like it should be more difficult than that (and as far as I, a non-medical professional, know it is) but keep in mind the pharmaceutical industry is worth billions to a select few, and keep in mind back when Eli Lilly’s Twitter was hacked and posted insulin, a substance that costing some people over $1000/month just to live, would be free, their stock dropped 4.37% the next day.

Like I said, I’m no medical anything but like with previous products that have claimed to be medically beneficial, I think it’s worth at least taking a step back and looking at what someone stands to gain by claiming something vital is simple versus what those who claim otherwise stand to lose.

After all, I think we’ve all heard the story of the doctor who, in a fit of desperation, cured his wife’s cancer with bicarbonate of soda and then did so with more of his patients before being sued by Big Pharma.

Much like Voldemort, Libgen cares about people getting a quality education.

Mindlessly downloading an episode that doesn’t get a mention on the wiki page is amateur hour.

Still won’t get me to pay for their overpriced books.

Well if he’s daft enough to go looking for it, what’s he expecting?

Oh yeah, no, absolutely not. I was going with OPs mention of uBO

And you just know they love their plausible deniability.

Billy yeeees

Greed. No reason other than greed.

True but this is why we have trusted groups instead of googling software and running the first exe you find. This application of common sense applies to many facets of life.

This reads so much as anti-piracy propaganda 😂

Or are driven insane in the efforts of cracking Denuvo.

Exactly what I was thinking. A pirate in the west doesn’t stay a pirate for long without one.

You could check the cs.rin forum. Those guys are usually pretty knowledgeable though I can’t weigh in specifically for Skyrim.

Agreed. Definitely send this to Louis. The tirade will be funny, at the very least.

So not only are they selling customer data, they aren’t even doing it for any real money. Fucking vultures.

It’s not just the US, trust me. One horribly true fact of life is justice only works for those who can afford it.
