"It also targeted unauthorized translations" which is weird because unauthorized translations are not illegal, inherently.

Anyway this whole thing is a huge waste of money, especially when companies are encouraging more piracy with all their anti-consumer practices that make it harder and prohibitively expensive to purchase legally... with some making it literally impossible to purchase by only having subscription options now.

“One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue,” explained Newell during his time on stage at the Washington Technology Industry Association's (WTIA) Tech NW conference. “The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.”
