Heard about this a couple days ago, crazy stuff. For those who don't know, bilibili is a massive video hosting platform in China aimed toward the younger generation. So the question is who leaked it and why? Just a disgruntled employee or the effect of 996?

  I suspect the commenter you’re responding to means ~”who leaked the source code referenced in the DMCA, and why”. The DMCA takedown request refers to a repo that it claims contains internal information and data from the claiming company.

  According to this repo Symantec just filed a DMCA notice to Android source code about a week ago: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2019/04/2019-04-09-Symantec.md https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2019/04/2019-04-0... Crazy.

    What android source code? It's a repos called android_test of some user. This seems to have been the main factor - com/symantec/mobilesecurity - in the code.

    Why crazy? They do list every .. folder (and call them 'repositories'), which is probably stupid. But https://github.com/shil99/android_test/tree/master/external/NMS_Test/src/com/symantec/mobilesecurity https://github.com/shil99/android_test/tree/master/external/... literally has their name in the path/package name, so it isn't crazy (unless you know more?) to believe that this was stolen/reverse engineered Symantec code, no? At LEAST it's a very confusing and misleading directory tree for a random repository? Files below src/ should be sources, not a 3rd party Symantec lib or whatever, so I'd give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Elaborating a bit more on the size of bilibili: it has around 100m monthly users and trades as NASDAQ:BILI with a market cap of ~$5.7B. This is not some small-time shop, as far as social media companies go bilibili is one of the more established companies out there.
- pluma 7y ago
  I'll never understand what market cap has to do with company size. Stock prices are basically an arbitrary value mostly determined by how much people buying stock think the stock is worth, are they not? Correct me if I'm wrong but theoretically an overhyped two man operation running at a financial loss could generate the same market cap as a much larger company with massive profits? As I understand it, the only somewhat tangible factor is the actual money in the company which again can be bloated by overeager investors. I'm not being facetious, I'm genuinely curious about the rationale.

    Among other things, market cap gives an indication of the future value investors place in the company. Your 2-man shop would unlikely have a similar market cap unless they can demonstrate some blindingly simple strategy to take over the world. Your big corp already has access to a large userbase (100m users in Bilibili's case if the previous poster is to be believed). That makes future growth and profits much more likely.

    Well if your company only has one product with all the secrets leaked on github, it matters whether the company was worth 10 Million or 6 Billion before bad things happen.

    "Enterprise Value" is one of the legitimate measures of company size, and is defined as market capitalization + net debt. You can think of this as equivalent to the size of the company because it would be the amount of money you'd need (roughly speaking) to buy the entire company outright.

Probably a little of each. The repository "title" of swituo/openbilibili-go-common, when pushed through google translate, says: "I don't know if these are embarrassing... The troubles of morality are going out and turning right to pay attention to 996.icu"
- yorwba 7y ago
  "我不清楚这些是啥… 道德心泛滥的麻烦出门右转关注996.icu！" means "I don't know what these are... I hope those with an overflowingly moral heart won't be too bothered to go out and turn right to star 996.icu" The original repo was taken down, so I don't think you can attribute that message to the leaker.

    Should be translated to: "I have no idea what are these (or what is this) ... If you have too many moralities to spend, go spend them on 996icu!"

Bilibili was also criticised by the Chinese government last week for the 'quality' of some hosted content (read: pornography, satire). The next day its foothold in younger generations was praised by the same relevant organs (read: being told to focus or educational and 'moral' content).
