Curiosity is one thing, but this tool is especially lenient with users despite wishing them to purchase a license. It's also made by a single dev, not a massive conglomerate. I feel like it really shouldn't be the target of this kind of thing...
> Notice: This post does not endorse piracy. It's purpose is merely educational. Decompiling and cracking software is illegal in most cases.
Author proceeds to write a very detailed post about how to remove the parts of ST3 that are designed to prevent piracy.
Pick one. You can't not endorse something and then go tell people exactly how to do it. If you were showing how to do something else to ST3, fine, but this is telling people exactly how to pirate ST3.
It is ironically hillarious to say decompiling and cracking software is illegal in most cases then instantly begin to teach people how to do that. I wonder how "educational" this is. With this view, I feel like years ago when movies and books torrents "encourage" people to go support the author lol

It's not showing how to pirate. It's showing how to modify the program. That doesn't imply piracy - users can do this even if they own the software.
Do you think this will result in users actually following these instructions and learning a bit of RE instead of actually paying for ST?
I already purchased it and found the post interesting.
