Denuvo sues anonymous game cracker

I'm not a lawyer, but does habeas corpus not apply in cases like this...?

There's a reddit thread about this and the person replied to it like

All is fine. Everything will continue as normal.

If they went straight to legal it means they legit don't know how to stop it. That's pretty damning for them.

First step would be to analyze the hack and the patch it so that the bypasses no longer work. I'm guessing the hack exposes a serious flaw.

Yeah thought that as well, there probably is a good reason they resort to that. Seems a bit desperate. Good.

I probably shouldn’t comment as I haven’t read the article (SHAME) but my assumption is this is the first step to compel platforms the cracker may have used to providing identifiable information on them.

I don’t think so because the accused isn’t jailed, but I’m just a guy on the internet so I could be wrong.

I think I understand the approach.

Pro-consumer data/service companies have privacy policies where they don’t share someone’s info. The sole exception is when that person has used those services to break the law. The suit may have the intent of establishing that fact so said services consider providing the user’s info.

the company claims that the accused bypassed its Anti-Tamper technology in at least 26 PC games and is seeking monetary damages as well as a court order that would prevent further tampering of its DRM

Considering that the main product they shill obviously doesn't work, I wouldn't keep my hope up on them figuring anything out

Standard corporate America right there. You proved our product is a sham and worthless? How dare you we'll sue you out of existence!

God forbid they step back and rethink their product.

Oh, that's easy. You have one of your rent-a-cops grab a random dude off the street, beat a confession out of him, and then sue that guy.

I am coming to your location right now to serve you this court summons. Please provide me with your residence so I can serve you this court summons. It is unlawful for you to not help me find you and give you this court summons :(

Next watch Discord and Reddit bend over backwards to give Denuvo all chats and information about dozens of accounts that may or may not be connected to the cracker. Because that‘s something platforms seem to do these days without any backlash since „they didn‘t fuck MY privacy this time!“ Ugh.

And yes I am aware these platforms aren‘t encrypted and you should assume someone already reads everything you write and listens to every call. I still find it upsetting how openly they throw user data around without any backlash. Consumers have no spine to stand up for themselves with.

By using the law to circumvent the privacy of the account holder.

Denuvo is an Austrian company, not American.

This isn't about American corporate culture. It's a capitalist culture.

That is such a stupid expectation ngl and the fact that I hear it is stupid too,

If I write a letter to my friend and send it via snail mail, my expectation is not for it be taken open read by some random guy and go through it, innit?

They could be working on both, but it's a seriously bad look anyway. Companies should switch off autopilot mode and stop using Denuvo.

I mean, not legally, but you should still assume that.

Anything truly secret should be communicated in ways that can't be naively caught.

Like trusting something much faster and harder to catch than a snail.

Unless, y'know, it's that snail and you're trying to hide your message from that immortal guy

Alleged? Lol

They destroyed the denuvo drm.

I hope they go bankrupt. Why would any company pay for such an expensive drm if it doesn't work?

The problem with finding good SM is that the platform itself matters very little vs where everyone you wanna chat with is hanging out at. Discord sucks; but it's where all the official shit for a lot of games are.

Just a question, but how easy is it nowadays to bypass Denuvo using LLM?

Just tell the courts AI was used to crack the denuvo and AI being able to do that isn't copyright infringement. 😏
