- lisivka 10y agoThe answer in link is already answered years ago. Publisher cannot stop piracy because it cannot control user device, because user has full access to device. So the only solution to problem is to gain full control over user device, which is impossible, because user device is in hands of user.
- dingo_bat 10y agoExcept it's not impossible. Look at iphone and increasingly android. The device is locked down so hard that even the user doesn't have root access. Gaining root can be seen as a negative, borderline criminal thing and you lose warranty and repair service from the manufacturer. You also lose the ability to use some apps (Android pay, snapchat, etc.) just because you have root access. The only ones with true root access are Apple and Samsung/Google.
