Or just watch it on television. (You can even tape it when it's on television… sshhhhhhh.)
Are you using VHS for said taping? I suddenly wonder if this is one of those anachronistic phrases, or if people no longer use it and you're revealing your age.
Imagine the people with adhesive tape in hand.

#484From another site a user commented that it might have proprietary modifications to ffmpeg which is LGPL/GPL (I think?). Would a leak be considered to be distribution, could others legally take these modifications and merge them into the upstream project? I imagine other free software might have modifications too.
The IP issues with the leak are interesting. There's got to be some Stack Overflow copy/pastes, perhaps some variable name changed license violating code, and I wonder if patent trolls or even rightful patent owners can now sue based on how backend code works in a way where they had no way to sue if they didn't know how it worked from interacting with a frontend.
No, you won't be able to sue if you claim that, based on the leaked source code, your IP was infringed because leaked (e.g. stolen) source code won't be admissible in court as evidence

Spoiler alert: vast majority of FAANG systems run on Linux, making billions for them.
Don't they also provide a lot of developer time through patches?
They sure do, but having worked at such a place, the companies are using way more free labor in open source software than they are giving back.
In a way, everyone is doing that as well. I certainly use more free software than I contribute free software / dev time to free software

I hate to break it to you, but 200k/yr is in the top 4% of earners in America. That's not "middle class" by any stretch of the imagination.
After taxes, insurance, retirement, etc... you're taking home maybe $100k of that. That's "modest home in a nicer suburb" level money.
It's among the top 4% of income, that's an objective metric. Being in the top 4% of people in one of the wealthiest countries in the world is objectively not middle class.

I'm very curious to have a peek but isn't downloading stolen material a crime? And wouldn't this be compounded by the fact that with torrent systems you are also helping redistributing it further?
I'm curious about which law downloading this would break.

Are you guys (other commenter) are professional pentesters? How do you become one? Do you freelance or work full time 8-5?
There are a ton of companies hiring pentesters. Most testers fall into the profession after having worked in other network or IT related professions. A few are free lance, most work for a company or in my case start their own and expand out services. It's not really any different than any other tech job at the end of the day, it just seems glamorous. Don't become a pentester if you're not ready to write extensive rep…
[potentially off topic]
> if you're not ready to write extensive reports.. it's probably 75% of the job
Do you happen to have a system for building these out? As a techie, I imagine you've tried something like text-expander or similar... but I see a lot of people unsatisfied that they end up building their own tools.

There's a difference between vicious mockery of a company and its founders on a single website, and having randos holding knives knocking on people's windows.
> and having randos holding knives knocking on people's windows Are you referring to some specific event?
An amalgamation of multiple events. (I was lying when I implied I remembered the last time 4chan did this kind of thing; it happens so often.)
The one I was thinking of, I misremembered: it was actually an (alleged) stabbing. https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/07/tenacity_maintainer_q...
