It's a LOCAL privilege escalation vulnerability. You need sufficient access to be able to execute arbitrary code locally on the machine. You would need a remote code execution vulnerability in an exposed service (VPN, web server, game server and so on) before an attacker could chain to this to get remote root on your system.

Isn't real debrid just a paid for leeching service? Shameless taking from the commons without giving back and charging for the privilege?
This disclosure has been rushed for the views and hype IMO, none of the big distros had fixes ready to go on this this morning.
I disagree that is legally no different, if you used a "grey" market seller to obtain access in a way gog deemed illegitimate then you never had license to use it. If you had a legitimate licence then using it after say gog terminated you account, you would still have legitimate license to use the copies you already downloaded despite gog not providing their services to you.
How is the license revocable without DRM? They have no mechanism to revoke it other than stopping you downloading it from them again.
Blueray bitrate is lower than even 1gbps so even full remux is downloadable at a speed you could begin to watch it the same day while later episodes continue to download. You wouldn't need the full series downloaded up front.
Yeah I'm sure that will keep it offline.
Piracy is a correcting action on a massive market distortion. It's a state enforced monopoly on any given idea. You know what other ideology liked state enforced monopolies? Communism.
Fertility rates have been falling across the world since the baby boom that followed WW2 in line with greater female education and labour market participation. Also people from poorer and less educated background in wealthy countries are the people who have the highest fertility rates.
I believe you are miss reading the correlation, having more children isn't making people poorer, it's part of a more complicated cycle of poverty that involves lower levels of education and attainment which leads to poorer income and poorer fertility planning. The strongest correlation is with female education levels.
The original code for that was leaked, most if not all replacement servers run that code, not reverse engineered code.
I'm playing them preemtively, once they come down to a couple of dollars I'll totally pay for them for all the time I spent playing them when they were expensive.
