Of which is why the pirate bay died and downloading roms from archive.org stopped!
That aside: You cannot actually prove that they didn't reverse engineer it while actually using the real software. They could just be 'that good', rhetorically.
If the feds had the power to shut shit down Kali would not be allowed exist nor would Backtrack have been allowed to exist nor LInux in general nor BSD. They'd have banned it as 'pedophile hacker software" already like they did Limewire. I already remember stats on how Linux users were more likely to be pedos, I had a screencap even. It was old banter. What are you hiding being the question if a VPN using HDD/SDD encrytpion having Linux user? They never even banned Zeronet nor the other Darknets because if anything the feds want to use such odd duck software to catch 'predators'. They'd let ReactOS be a thing as it'd be easily hacked in comparison to Linux and most people would be jailed over copyright infinring as obviously that is their forte if they copyright infringed the very operating system they are using. Using ReactOS means you're a 'thief', they want to catch them in stings like they do anybody, such as by using the darknets you are a pedo but they let that, indeed, stay up for the sake of stings.
Russians censors too and the Soviet Union fell a long time ago. They will act just like the USA if they ever get money. It'd just be a matter of time. I won't bat an eye when they take down the library genesis, of which will happen as soon as people start trading with them aka giving them money. Eventually they will cut a deal to stop them from allowing people to copyright infringe if it hit critical mass, of which it eventually will, and they'd not have censored porhub from their own people if they were not censorous spiritually as an example of censor.
