Instead, the code was able to be used to develop an official HD version. So it's a win-win.

Law is amoral. It doesn't care about good or bad.

Us, we're the good guys.

He DID get rewarded. He got $100 in Blizzard™ swag

Is there anything similar to this and the Xbox one where they actually go full Chaotic Good and upload it?

Fucking faggot unironically likes this jacket and yeezys what could you expect from such a beta

>omg we need all this code that never made it into the game to know how the game works reeeee
And yet, every other major title with programmers behind it have been able to break their code down just fine. Just admit it, you starcraft fucks are retards who can't even understand 30 year old code.

youre wrong on that one for a pretty good number of reasons, primarily because the law is there only there as a means of control over the masses

He was clearly looking to be showered in Reddit karma. That was a mistake on multiple levels, because even if he had then turned around and denied Blizzard’s offer to turn the CD in, Reddit’s army of Good Boy mods would have probably doxxed the guy so Blizzard’s lawyers could go after him.

before we do this shit again, remember the guy that found this made sure the hard drive was unreadable before modding it. The hardware was a brick and he actually got some use out of it.

>Risking your life over code
The dude would had been sued to oblivion.

the hard drive wasn't unreadable, he didn't know how to read it so he assumed there was nothing on it and formatted it.

You dumb shit.

>means of control over the masses
Control isn't inherently good, either. Laws and the control they provide can be used for immoral actions.

>to know how the game works
user...

He never should have went public with it, but I guess it needed 2 parts for it to make it work: a person to stumble upon it and that person having enough knowledge to leak it anonymously on the Internet knowing what impact it would have.

thats precisely what im saying, though. it takes a stance one way or another.

Why do people act as if releasing this code would lead to an FBI level manhunt by blizzard to kill you? Literally just go to a mcdonalds with some 40$ crap top and dump the contents on a forum, then bin the laptop.

It's a tool. A hammer isn't good. A carpenter is. A hammer used for a murder isn't bad, the murderer is. The hammer is completely, 100% irrelevant in judging who the good guy is. It's completely detached from good. Same with laws. You can't judge who a good guy is by whether the law is on his side or not.

Same reason some crazies went out of there way to remove a flag. Multiply times.

would have been nice to get some obscure ports after some autistic fuck got hold of the source code

okay, but the law isnt an object. its enforced with or without your permission of it doing so. therefore it creates a position where its actively having cause and effect. things dont just magically mean nothing

>(((property)))

Remember when we were called citizens?
Now we are called consumers. When did this change?

But neither Blizzard nor the FBI has weaponized autism.

Companies don't have citizens user. Countries are just an illusion at this point.

The law, just like the hammer, is useless without an enforcing body to wield it. It doesn't magically mean something.

Most adoptions happen because of this.

When you stopped being a person and started being a resource.

but you're selling your kid

Reminder that by the logic found in this thread, if the average Yea Forums poster saw a man drop his wallet, they’d return it to him only after copying down his credit card number.

intellectual ''''property'''' is a god damn spook

it does at this stage though, because as a concept - law is greater than a tool like a hammer ever could be, because again law isnt an object or a tool, its a social concept and construct. the "body" wielding law is larger than any singular human being and therefore it goes way beyond just one man and his abilities.

one man cant just change the way all law works. it goes far beyond just that, and thats why its not the same as your physical comparison

Intellectual Property law isn't worth following

If blizzard was a man I'd kick his ass

To be fair, he fucked himself by posting about it on Reddit. It would have taken Blizzard lawyers about 0.2seconds to track him down through that.

After he made that post they got in touch with him, and he didn't have a whole lott'a options. He should'a just distributed it anonymously to begin with, no-one would have been the wiser, but after he posted about it and Blizzard started breathing down his neck...

>Huh, Bitcoins are worth a decent amount these days, wonder what that would'a been worth
>Apparently that's 56million dollars in actual currency

Assuming you can actually exchange them, holy shit, that's nuts.

I'm not saying that the law isn't closely tied to morality is not true. Claiming that law is generally good is fine. Claiming (or in OP's case, >implying) that something is good because it is lawful is completely fucking wrong on a fundamental level. See: Slavery

Obeying the law is for bootlicking faggots.

Disney is a good example of this.

that was a perfect PR stunt
you - idiot.

there was no lost source code

that dog needs a youtube channel

They already exist

Give me your car, im a better driver

Who knows who he would of ended up talking to about it? Could of been some guy online saying he was going to create mods, then when the guy ships it out it turns out it was a Blizzard lawyer and the guy gets slammed in court.

It's not like they lost the only copy of the source.

My bic ballpoint is guaranteed more useful to me than you are.

The mods you could create with access to Starcraft's source code would be amazing compared to that

What's the deal with buttcoins nowdays? did anyone really make it?

Nobody cares about your fluffy perfect imaginary mods that would never have been made

That was one of the earliest and most significant exchanges of bitcoin for physical goods. If he saved those 10,000 bitcoin, they wouldn't be worth what they are now.

It's not just the mods it's also the source ports. You notice that alot of old school shooters get a sourceport or two that makes it 10x better?
That's due to the fact that either the source code get's leaked or some faggot somehow reverse engineer the entire fucking engine.
God only knows what amazing source port would of come from this and instead we got a shitty fucking remake.
