I know but it doesn't invalidate my point.

No matter how long, more "leechers" are going to abuse the system instead of a few "geeks" with the knowledge.

Sure, if the timespan is short, almost no damages will be taken. Unless it gets distributed through other networks. If they didn't expected this, they may be upset.

Hey, even maybe this was the main purpose, to go viral. Who knows. I just wanted to share how I felt to see the stream link published.




Ah, I actually expected this to happen so I guess I wasn't affected the same way. If you check the pirate bay, you can find every mainstream movie no matter how much DRM there is on it. So it doesn't surprise me that a video posted online got ripped off already. Also, it's been proven in multiple studies that piracy doesn't hurt a project's bottom line, so I hope they're not too worried about that.


Ripping a stream is not hacking.

I did it through FlshGot. This is no science. It's just a rightclick.

This is not some hidden elite treasure you need to hide here.


I didn't say that. Nevermind.


You were talking about keeping things to ourselves and "geek" knowledge.


I didn't say it was hacking. There is a little difference and they are not equal.


It changes absoultly nothing in this context here. However you call it. You wanted to keep some knowledge to yourself because you thought it may be some kind of special thing. It's not. Especially not here.
