    That's why one sells such cracks through Tor Hidden Services.

    But perhaps his celly has pointed that fact out to him by now.

    I'm going to set up a hidden service for Soggy Jobs sometime soon. That way my users can look for new jobs while they're at their old jobs.

    His celly has never heard of the garlic sprouter. He's in for assault with a deadly weapon.

    Someday, one day, I'll find another you and we'll be in a world of our own on the morning Tor ride.

    You would have a point... if he was selling them. Which he wasn't.

    Scene crackers do it for notoriety and/or ideology, not profit.

    Voksi declined to reply when reached for comment by Kotaku, but on Reddit he lamented that this Denuvo-cracking days are almost certainly behind him. “Sadly, I won’t be able to do what I did anymore,” he said. “I did what I did for you guys and of course because bloated software in our games shouldn’t be allowed at all. Maybe someone else can continue my fight.”
