If you're gonna pirate, at least do a checksum or something.

  Against what?
  • jonathanstrange 6y ago
    Against the cracked copy, of course, to make sure the DRM really has been removed. You don't want to get nasty surprises and accidentally install PACE or another Sony rootkit...

      How would you know if he cracked copy you’re comparing against didn’t already have something nasty in it?
      • jonathanstrange 6y ago
        You wouldn't, I was joking. Sorry, I shouldn't have done thas, I was in "Reddit mode" and forgot that discussions are more sincere on HN.

          Ha, I didn't catch the joke. Guess it seemed too much like genuine advice…

      checksum can tell you if there is a difference but not what caused it.
