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]

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.

The Popular tab is based on how many people are currently reading a thread. Because of this, old or obscure threads may make an appearance if someone on a forum or content aggregator site links to this thread and a lot of guests start reading it.

Reddit or some forum probably linked to it. When you get lots of random guest viewers it ends up on fp_popular where the regulars see it and click
