TheTomasEs geht um den weltgrößten Spielzeughersteller oder mein Versuch, bei #Microsoft und #Copilot nicht ins Polemische abzurutschen. Ich bin offensichtlich gescheitert :-) Aber es gibt ein Blick in mein Bücherregal. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
AtemuI just came across a tool to download+decrypt #windevine content.
Interesting in theory but looks abandoned.
What I find very interesting though is that it comes with a #EULA that summarises to "don't pirate" – presumably to keep the lawyers at bay. The code is licensed under #GPLv3 however.
Little known GPLv3 fact: If the software you received has "further restrictions" placed upon it, it grants you the explicit permission to remove them!
I would like to coin this tactic "#DMCA-condom" ;D

When a company ends support for the last version of a given #software product compatible with any subset of the supported #hardware, or ends support for a given software product altogether, or ends support for a software-controlled hardware product, the warranty #disclaimer, limitation of #liability, indemnity, and related #EULA terms should be deemed without force or effect regarding any future harms resulting from software defects unless the company releases all information and legal permissions necessary for arbitrary independent parties to patch those defects and distribute and install those patches.
Either release the complete and corresponding source code (including any keys necessary to install or run a compiled version) with a license to make and distribute fixes, or fix your up stuff forever, or face unlimited liability for the consequences of your refusal to fix or allow fixing.

Large Format ProjectionistThe #MicroSoft #Copilot Terms of Service are no indication of a lack of confidence.
It’s a sign that the inventors of the #EULA have finally reached the peak of their skills. “The products we profit off of have no guarantee of working.”

Terms and Conditions Written by: Kathleen Fitzgerald (The Unfrosted Files: Book 13) (Book 12 - here) March, 2026 Arrivals Popolis International Airport — POP, as every sign helpfully reminded you - was busy in the particular way it always was at the start of Harvestide. Not frantic. Not rushed. ...
Big Blu GnuThe 2000s were also the heyday of noteworthy freeware games and sites such as GameHippo, and buying a copy of a digital work then—often on a CD—actually meant owning it and doing whatever (copyright) law permitted. No streaming disservices or prerequisites. Even pre-Microsoft Minecraft, in retrospect, was a relief from signing expansive EULA agreements and possibly trading off privacy for the product. Those days are worth returning to.
