I looked at Movies Anywhere and

• US only
• Movies bought only (no series, does not support rentals)
• sounds like they offer a unified interface to multiple providers - but you're saying it unlocks the bought movies on the other platforms? - if it's only a frontend it'd not help in keeping access

What's the difference then?

Is it the same software, a rebrand, a publishing team change?

Did you just make a contradictory argument for both sides?

Is your distinction that piracy by individuals gives cultural recognition while that of corporations doesn't?

If you think piracy is warranted, at the cost of artists/creators, how is a generalized AI that makes it available and more accessible as a cultural abstracted good different?

Why did you post a screenshot instead of posting/quoting the text?

Text would have been more accessible and more discoverable.

A crack changes program code and is executed. There is no easy way to check if it is safe.

Unless you inspect the source code or binary code (directly or through reverse-engineering) you can not verify it.

What's left without that is attempts at gaining confidence through analysis trust of third parties - the providers, distributors, creators - who have to be confirmed beyond a matching text label too.

The alternative to or extension of being confidently safe or accepting the risk is to sandbox the execution. Run the crack in a restricted environment with limited access in case it does things you do not want to. Optionally monitoring what it does. Which has to be put into relation of what the program does without the crack.

"no warranty" is very different from "expect bugs and breakage"

It tells me they're not confident in or trying for stability. Which means I have to expect issues and fix up time requirements. Which I'm not willing to invest regularly.

• ⚠️ Expect bugs and breaking changes.
• ⚠️ Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos.

Well that's not very confidence-inducing…

GDPR:

These types of infringements could result in a fine of up to €20 million, or 4% of the firm’s worldwide annual revenue from the preceding financial year, whichever amount is higher.

4% can be a lot in absolute numbers for these massive corporations. But it's such a low percentage that it could indeed be included in operational cost and then be ignored.

What makes Software different? Is there specific law for it?

It was trained on human text and interactions, so …

maybe that's a quite bad implication?

Invites are for giving to people you know and trust. Don't invite random people.

(I'm not saying it's good or bad. And I assume you made a conscious decision on it.)

asklemmy post that went viral: I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can’t take up too much space. What food do I pack?
