Honestly, yeah, he was enabling Russian Hackers.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

I'm okay with both. This guy was enabling a Russian Hacker network.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

He really wasn't. The media he distributed came with Russian malware.

stole "numerous 'pre-release' DVDs and Blu-rays" between February 2021 and March 2022. He then allegedly "ripped" the movies, "bypassing encryption that prevents unauthorized copying

One is running some nobodies over, the other making a rich guy some pennies less rich.

Must set a precedent, y'know?

Don't let it fool you. Serial pirates are the biggest enemy of mankind. We should strive together to make sure they get the penalty they deserve.

If they're being shared as disk images, basically every Blu-Ray has an embedded Java program, also

They should demand thorough answers from this vigilante and put them on YouTube so all the world understands not to do this!

No, i mean, bluray encryption is partly bound to keys and the player. Even blurays from 2020 often fail with libbluray and a newish player. I see no way to rip a pre-release bluray.
