Once again, why would they share their cracks if its for personal use?

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Mods and open source software are not illegal.

You're missing the point I've made completely.

[–] nave@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My point is that a contributor to open source software can contribute just to help people because they don’t have to worry about legal repercussions.

[–] liminal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people

The point I’m trying to make is some people don’t want risk getting raided by the fbi just to give people free games
