not very surprising tbh, Microsoft is exactly who I’d expect to do something like this. if you need to use windows on the machine you pirate stuff on just create a new user and disable smartscreen/defender on that account. i do agree though that this should get some more traction, more people use windows than id like to admit

How much you wanna bet that running the file through ffmpeg in a Linux subsystem scrambles whatever signature it’s checking

Modern content detection systems don’t rely on file signatures, they rely on content signatures. So, unless your FFMEG turns Alien movie into Jurassic Park movie, it will be detected as Alien movie.

Yeah, but how? How can a detection system detect the content of a video file stored locally? So they have petabytes of cache containing every movie ever made? Also do they upload files to server for detection?

Any of these can be disabled rather easily.
