No, there are ways to remove metadata from images, and other files.
If future leakers just remove all metadata from images all will be fine.

Eh, I can understand it more since it's someone else coding it. I assumed he tried doing it, and given his vitriol for piracy and penchant for obsfucating things in general, had assumed he would try everything he could to make it as hidden as possible.
Please tell me you're getting paid for this at least.

yea unfortunately Renpy wasn't designed with computer security in mind, that being said, the fact you were able to write all this code and make funtionable DRM was damn impressive, the fact that the DRM involves server side checking and specific ID branding per image is really what catches my eye

Interesting, though i guess since a bunch of people got the ID flagged it means darkdaemonx has been flagged and probably booted from the site so guess that means the care package enthusiasts are going to be put out until someone else starts leaking and i'm guessing scrubbing the metadata will still get your saves scrubbed if you don't use the replacement gui.rpy file right?

LOL, got my saves erased. But I've already recovered them, literally 10 min inconvenience. Oh well.

Yeah
It looks like they're embedding the lilgame.com user id of whoever downloads the care packages from the site into the menu images before zipping them and delivering them to the user.
The script then sends these id's back to the server, and if they get more than one submission of that id from multiple IPs, the server tells the game to schwack you (http code 402, 'payment required')
It looks like they only started implementing this before January's as the first two menu image id's should have been the same, given the first two care packages leaked here originally came from the same person, but the id's are blank in the first two files
Ideally you would remove the part where they check for the ID, I don't know what kinds of error we would get if the ID is just not there. Removing the metadata would be safer for the leaker tho.

You did a great job, man. Absolutely brilliant. Was not expecting to find it where I did at all
I also hope you're getting paid for this. I assume this isn't going to stop so I look forward to the next bout

Is it an issue that I'm excited for v0.30 for looking at code now? makes me feel like a bigger nerd now

Me prior to this update: "Otoha ain't ugly or anything, but I don't see why Rin's so obsessed with her.
This version of Otoha does something for me that the previous version did not.
....and this is why I don't date.

I haven't played since 0.26, but I'm still looking at the updates. I came back and downloaded it just to mess with its code when I saw the issue.Is it an issue that I'm excited for v0.30 for looking at code now? makes me feel like a bigger nerd now

Well, seems Selly discarded the pretense and so we have 'word of god' confirmation of what year the girls are in and thus their ages, 14 to 15. I know in odd cases you can get 13 or 16 but if that applies then statistically it can only be 1 maaaaybe 2 of the students. Good to know though it was already pretty much assumed.

You only have to worry about it if you installed the leaked care packages.
And all you have to do to bypass it is to either delete the code block starting at line 418 in gui.rpy, or to replace the one in your game directory with this one. Make sure to rename it to gui.rpy after you download.
Otherwise all your saves and the script.rpy file will get deleted.

It's always been clear that they're first-year high school students, but that's in the Japanese school system, where there's only 3 years of high school, so they're age-equivalent to US Sophomores, or 15-16.

Okay, I'm stuck unlocking the last Otoha event. Getting filler at the dorms and the park, anyone figure it out yet?
this is so stupid now. i actually am done with the game now and was a sub. too bad a good idea became shit because the dev is a tool.
