Here's another link https://sizeof.cat/post/twitch-leaks/ Looks real to me based on the archive I managed to download so far

You might want to delete that link. They've replaced it with something a little NSFW.

They block links that have HN as referer and redirect them to a NSFW image. But if you copy that URL and paste it in the browser it will work.

I was wondering why I didn't see anything, but I keep forgetting I drop all my referrer headers

> An unreleased Steam competitor, codenamed Vapor, from Amazon Game Studios The choosing of the name Vapor is probably no accident when the main competitor is Steam. Just like when IBM launched the "Eclipse foundation" which was arguably based on one of Sun's most prized possessions; Java.

I worked for Nokia for a brief moment in time and the Nokia E71 (or another in that line) was internally codenamed "BeeBee" (like: blackberry) which was comical to me given that the phone looked a lot like a contemporary era blackberry.

What's the legality of downloading something like this? If someone is on the torrent they're effectively distributing it as well as downloading.

I think it would at least be the same as sharing other copyrighted content, whether or not the "hacking" part comes into it.

In the US, you're fine. The laws that exist barring possession of information largely revolve around copyright, CSAM, or classified information (only relevant if you have a clearance), and none of those really apply here.

Cheers, I guess we'll find out about Dr Disrespect's full story now. Hopefully nothing to private for him.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Source code is copyrighted surely? You can't share ebooks just because the "source" is open and visible, copyright applies to all creative works.
