Attempting to add DRM to an open-source piece of software is like hiding a key in a safe that doesn't lock.
Not to mention anyone could use reflection to change the properties of the blacklist and just blast its contents anyway.

If you think about it for just s second you realize the PR was done for the lulz.
Blah, half the community uses the terms "nerd" and "geek" backwards from the other half... I should have used dweeb instead, it's not as polarized.
Wait... where was I? Oh right the PR thing... I think I actually found the topic in your thread on the MCF @Reika, and the links and googling lead me to an IRC conversation? And something there said the PR guy made an account and posted a thread in FTB about it... or posted in a thread, or something. I got sidetracked and it ceased piquing my curiosity... also I really needed to work some more on the backstory and concept of my two characters that I get to bring to the game on Sunday precisely because my DM is making a ruling on whether or not my character concept is going to be playable (as I see it) or not, so I need an alternate... WHEE! Not.
Yeah. Um... somewhere? At this point I've been Rules Lawyering the "Reincarnate" spell for Pathfinder 7 ways from Sunday because my DM is being a dick about a character concept I wanted to play, so I was going to give him a dissertation on why I'm right and he's a douche... and then I read the spell in full on Rules Lawyer, Character Optimizer, Grammar Paladin, Syntax Knight mode... and discovered it is a HORRIFICALLY worded spell that when you read the rules works counter to how it works in practice, probably should be worded, and in multiple cases with high profile D&D/Pathfinder designers that's not even remotely how they run it at their table.

Wait...I thought FML was open source...either way, its Java; unless the code is obfuscated, then anyone with five minutes and Google can break open your assemblies with ridiculous ease. Hell, that's how I learned half of what I know about Minecraft modding.
Open-source does not mean easy to understand.

What's the alternative explanation? That someone smart enough to "reverse engineer FML" is also dumb enough to take that PR seriously? That they just happened to used a throwaway Github account for it without realizing what they were doing? That they said things like "These are not only my opinions. Go have a look at google and see for yourself." without intending to troll? That it being titled "Add new management functionality" and it being submitted without any description isn't meant to be funny?
I honestly find it hard to believe that PR was taken as anything but an obvious joke for even one second.

Well, there have been various examples throughout Minecraft's history of intelligent people with very strong opinions on how things should be. While I won't discount some extent of trolling, I honestly wouldn't discount them making a legitimate PR, either.
That's the majority of my worldview summed up in one short sentence. I've been shown too many examples of crap like this to be anything other than a misanthrope.
Touche, good sir.Open-source does not mean easy to understand.

It's still hilarious how this person's solution to DRM is more DRM. It's like trying to reverse climate change by burning more rainforests down.
the One Power is the orgasmic yin-yan of Saidin/Saidar while the True Power is the drug of the Dark One
Wrong, it is the essence of the dark one with addictive qualities, it is called the true power for a reason.
the only reason is that the forsaken wanted something better than the one power and got seduced by the addictiveness
