Uh, are they admitting they are trying to circumvent technological protections setup to restrict access to a system?
Isn’t that a literal computer crime?
See: Facebook/Meta
puts on evil hat CloudFlare should DRM their protection then DMCA Perplexity and other US based "AI" companies to oblivion. Side effect, might break the Internet.
Worth it.
The Internet was already ruined, cloudflare is just bandaids on top of band aids.
