Ah surprising that Poland’s still got copyright laws that relaxed, I thought they’d been more or less harmonized in the whole EU. Finland’s laws used to be pretty much like what you describe too, but they were changed… uh, fuck, I think 10 – 20 years ago to be stricter and I have a vague memory that they claimed it was to be more in line with how most other countries are in the EU, but it’s very much possible that either the politicians behind this lied, or that I remember wrong

That’d depend on your local copyright laws, but it’s probably illegal.

Getting caught without your friend calling the cops on you is extremely unlikely, at least assuming you don’t do anything fantastically stupid

I definitely get what you mean, I just have no idea if antivirus tools flag anything that looks like it modifies executables. My edit to the comment you’re replying to may not have propagated to your instance yet, so here’s what I added:

Do antivirus etc. tools just heuristically flag everything that looks like it modifies an executable? Lots of legitimate dev tools do that too, so it seems like it’d give a lot of false positives, but I haven’t used Windows in ages so 🤷

But you generally want that crack to do something to an executable. Do antivirus etc. tools just heuristically flag everything that looks like it modifies an executable? Lots of legitimate dev tools do that too, so it seems like it’d give a lot of false positives, but I haven’t used Windows in ages so 🤷

I think the point is that it’s a bit silly to classify cracks as malware

Yeah like duh it’s right there in the name, how hard can it be to find her?
