as per usual I am pretty sure they are aware of this, but are also aware that:
1. cutting this off would decimate the subscriber count of deezer
2. most people downloading stuff off deezer with a paid account instead of just ripping from YouTube is doing so to get FLACs - which they don't have a competing marketplace for
3. point 2 is a great source for statistics on if it's viable to launch said marketplace or not
it's pretty hilarious that deezer, a music streaming service known for how easy it is to straight up download music from because of the laughable security, is owned by an investment firm which also owns 86% of Warner Music Group
basically, they are financing the piracy of the music owned by another company they are financing

apparently Zootoca vivipara can just freeze and then thaw out two months later if it's cold enough
This is a lot more rad than hibernation

Every time I read anything about branch prediction and speculative execution I'm further convinced that modern CPUs are utterly black magic and we should never have convinced sand to whisper back.
code licenses in mods are in a funky place, tbh
we have people using the GPL, which can't apply due to the virality requirements - you can't fulfill the GPL if you link with something "non-free" - you'd need to go for LGPL in that case
then you have the "I'm putting the code on Github but you're not allowed to do anything with it because I've deliberately not put a license on it" crowd, which, well, why are you putting it up there then
then there's the classic wild west, which, well, fine, it works

Customer: BRITISH EXPRESSION, SHORT FOR: WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FRIEND? WILL BE GOING ON AN ELECTRIC CAR - HENCE THE WATT PUN. WATT IS THE SI UNIT FOR POWER.
DMV: YOU WAIT A MINUTE
Verdict: ACCEPTED
sudden urge to write a blog post on how big corporations aren't that stupid all the time and to teach people the difference between selling something to an individual vs a company, and how the former is on a "we take easy wins" basis, and how the latter is on a "fighting tooth and nail" basis
yes microsoft is aware you can get a free windows license by running a modified exe to pretend you've updated from 7, despite the fact that offer ended half a decade ago. no, they do not care that you are doing it.
yes adobe is aware how easy it is to pirate photoshop. no, they do not care that you are doing it.
what they care about is preventing companies from doing this, because that's where the vast majority of their income comes from - that's why they have the legal right to audit you from the moment you buy a single license from them, at which point they'll give you a "pay up or we sue" "offer" for any pirated software they find
