Most malware these days does things like demand bitcoin, popup ads, or upload your files to the cloud without your consent.
If I've actually unknowingly downloaded a virus, it's honestly less malevolent than the paid version.
- freedomben 2y ago> If I've actually unknowingly downloaded a virus, it's honestly less malevolent than the paid version. This is a remarkable observation on the sad state of paid software. It's so sad because it's so true. I don't mind buying software, but I do mind pretty much all DRM implementations. Even simple license checks have bitten me in the past when I had no internet access and the software just decided that time was up and it needed to verify me. Nothing fills me with rage more than software that I paid for refusing to run while I'm camping or on a plane or somewhere else without internet, for software that doesn't need any networt functionality whatsoever to operate.
