This means that casual file-sharers are …

Hi, I consider buying win10 and using it as a primary OS, and for reversing. There has been a lot of rant about privacy issues, forced updates, windows itself enabling user disabled reporting options..... I wonder if it's worth of buying. Is it even good idea to use legal win10 for reversing when noone knows for sure what actually is collected and send to MS? Anybody here using legal version of Win10?

Hello, Just have a few (I think interesting) questions about relationship between RCE and law. Question 1: I know reversing commercial protectors (e.g. Asprotect) is considered illegal and prohibited via DMCA and similar acts in US and EU countries.
