Robust Mirror

Haven’t been there for a long time but I’ve literally been banned from some subs I never even visited for posting something they didn’t like on a different sub.

I use PIA, cheap and they’ve been involved in at least 2 court cases where their no logging policies were proven.

That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.

Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.

Would it still apply if it’s not Google forcing it, but simply giving developers the choice? This doesn’t seem any different to putting code in your game to make sure it was launched from the epic games store for example.

I mean if we’re just naming a price you could say something like 100m+, invest it for profit for X amount of time and either intentionally or unintentionally slip up at some point, pay back the original and be pretty nicely set with no further catch.

Sure it’s clearly not within the spirit of the question, but still.
