Sure denuvo whatever you say lets get you to bed
Does masterlock get to sue the companies that make lockpicks?
Come now, you don’t need something fancy like lockpicks to pick most Masterlocks.
Seriously. Sometimes a twig or a small yellow mallet will suffice.
From what I’ve seen, hitting it with another masterlock will do the trick lol
Also a valid strategy. It’s so nice of Masterlock to provide so many options. Really makes it feel like they care about the lock opening experience and can be tailored to the user’s preference.
This is allowed because the DMCA sucks. It specifically calls out that circumventing copy protection is a violation. This also means that any company that adds protection also is able to effectively deny your right to make a backup copy.
This doesn’t apply to physical goods where ownership actually has meaning.
U.S.C. § 1201 can be used against your physical goods too since it’s so damn broad about circumventing DRM.
This is why your physical good like the good ol’ Bambu labs was able to file a DMCA notice against OrcaSlicer fork.
The general idea is correct, but the Bambu Labs example is inaccurate. Bambu Labs incorrectly issued a DMCA takedown for the user interfacing with their GPL-licensed code. Bambu Labs are in violation of the terms of the GPL license.
Rossmann has several videos explaining this, and has offered $20K to fund the illegally targeted dev’s legal fees. Bambu Labs is pretty clearly in the wrong.
A better example would be John Deere blocking farmers from fixing their tractors, or Apple blocking users from replacing parts in their phones. According to the DMCA, you don’t own your tractor, and you don’t own your phone.
Probably not, but that’s because the lockpicks are not digital and hence not covered by DMCA

Truth, though none of this has ever been “piracy”, except to the greedy fucks that bankrolled that bullshit back when.
FWIW, that campaign used the music and typeface illegally. 🙄
This will be about as effective as the US lawsuit against Anna’s Archive.
Good thing he’s anonymous I guess!
These John Doe suits are used because they are anonymous. They use them to get subpoenas to demand their information from their ISP. voices38 has said that everything is fine, though, on their reddit account.
they’re* 😉
You know, like FG.
My bad. What is FG?
fit-girl 🤓
They use images of Audrey Tautou as their pic, and have stated in a few forums (back when) that they’re not female.
Numerous newcomers to the scene still simp and refer to them as one, though. Because profile pics are proof of anything IRL, yep. 🙄
In fairness, their name is fitgirl not fitperson so I’d say it’s at least somewhat understandable to start with she/her pronouns.
So… how is taking text at face value any different from doing the exact same with an image? 🧏🏼♂️
One is a random/transient image, the other is a chosen name they identify with. People quite often put random anime/movie/show images as their pfp, they don’t normally put an explicit gender in their name. If you don’t understand how that is different, I don’t know that I can help you understand.
FYI, “fit” was slang for “attractive” long before it was short for “outfit”, ergo the username is not an “explicit” statement of the user’s/users’ gender IRL. ☝🏼
