The repo readme is pretty telling - this is being leaked to force this particular key to be blacklisted, I guess one group annoyed with others and wanting to cut off their access (and presumably the leaking group already has other L1 keys so doesn't fear this key being burned...)

There is something amusing about weaponizing the key revocation process like this...

Everything about it is fascinating. These people all have day jobs yet they provide a better experience than the multi-trillion dollar corporations that are releasing the product in the first place.

These people probably all have day school... I think most people who get past school age tend to retire out of this crowd of people...

Are you implying that young adults are more responsible for the state of piracy today than adults? I don't see that at all.

I feel like I have to defend the parent here. My experience in the nulling/warez/pirating community is that it tends to be young adults doing the majority of the work and mostly they do it for kudos and not monetary benefit.

Adults might be giving them the kudos, but the hard work (again, in my experience) is young adults, of school age.

Young adults aren't breaking into streaming devices to extract the CDM keys. They also aren't running trackers like Orpheus and Redacted. Those are small examples, but I'm not sure I understand how young adults would ever have the mobility and network to do these things.

Er, you may not have been a young adult with l33t hardware hacking skills, but others were.

Odd comparison, I wasn't basing this off of my experience as a young adult.
