[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Possible warez ? Extended Version

Well youtube vanced updates itself with latest youtube apks as base which include background play and ad blocking as a premium feature.I see a notification when videos play in background using vanced app that with 'youtube premium' you can play videos in background.

Clearly Such aforementioned features are provided by youtube for a monthly premium which users of vanced app don't pay.

Thus causing revenue loss for youtube.

Your contention is true that such features were originally developed by vanced before official youtube app but this dosen't allow them to include such features for free when they use latest youtube apk as base which already includes such features for a monthy susbscription and provide them for free to their users. It is only valid if they provide it on their originally developed apks before youtube official apk provided it themselves and not when they use such official apks as base which provides such features for a premium.

Although it can be conteded that features like different themes which official youtube apk still dosen't provide as not a warez but a original feature developed by vanced.

But as soon as they update their apk to a official base apk which starts providing such theming features for a premium and gives theirs users for free simply because it developed it before youtube and this gives them right to circumvent the premium model charged by youtube is straight away wrong.

Consider this, A lawsuit filed by youtube on vanced for providing its premium features for free to public.

WILL VANCED BE ABLE TO DEFEND ITSELF ?

Only reason they don't file a suit is because vanced app is free app and a community service and dosen't make any money by providing youtube premium features for free.

SO my contention is this, youtube vanced may be a possible warez if it unlocks such features provided by youtube for free but not when they originally developed it and not just modified the latest official base apks from youtube.:eek:

Also consider this, what if everybody started using vanced app instead of official youtube app.Will youtube will sit quietly and allow this because they developed such features before youtube or will it go against vanced with full throttle.

The only reason why i see xda so lenient with vanced app is because it cause revenue loss to big corporation and not some indie developer.Lucky patcher harms everbody the same(whether indie devloper or a big corporate,although nowadays its support for custom patches is dropping) and is banned from xda because it cheats developer community. Now consider this what if it allowed youtube official base apk to be modified in such a way vanced does ???? Will such modifications be considered as warez ??? Is vanced different from lucky patcher if it uses latest official youtube base apks. ???

Also consider this, suppose there is paid app which gives trial version of such app.For example Say Poweramp music player. Now if i use lucky patcher to patch it in order to get premium version,it will be straight away a warez in eyes of xda and in my opinion too.

But what if i added a feature like themming or whatever which dosen't exist in the app and create a modded apk and also i used the trial version but my modded apk dosen't require any key to convert it into a premium version along with my added features. Say i name the mode 'powervanced':cool:

Will i be cheating the developer of that app or will i be not ?Now suppose lucky patcher along with converting it into a full version adds my feature in the apk. Will it be considered warez or not. Note i didn't take permission from poweramp developer and i am essentially causing him revenue loss with powervanced apk.

The only true way to bypass all the above things is by taking permission from the original app developers and then create your version of the app.

Because lets be honest,app and android developments are not inspired by the like of youtube or google but by the like of underpaid developers,hackers and this esteemed energetic community of xda and android developers(Example Oxygen OS).I love xda in this regard and apps like magisk and their developers.
