[QUOTE=koeniginator;50390350] and if you're worried about legality osu already has plenty of problems: pretty much all of the songs in osu beatmaps are used without permission and don't really classify as fair use making osu guilty of large scale copyright infringement[/QUOTE] the game itself is also a rip-off of [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan"]this[/URL], or at least started out as one
Considering peppy, no wonder he'd go with such extreme measures.
"Even so, I can strictly say that the screenshot-taking ability was already removed after the last time this came up in discussion around 5 months ago (i tried to link to the reddit thread but apparently that's not allowed here)."

I don't completely understand how Facepunch works; why is this thread in the popular section when the last post was more than a year ago? In any case, I actually wasn't aware of the spyware in Osu till today. I am glad I haven't played Osu since 2014, I think, but wow, I never expected this. I am glad it was apparently removed.

When you get lots of random guest viewers it ends up on fp_popular where the regulars see it and click Getting Ninja'd is also a facepunch regular occurence ffs
