VRChat Users that use the Spyware Gonso also known as "GonsoLiscenser"

@Hanka oh, fuck... that's really bad.

[cutiebun]

Not to mention people who buy avatars with Gonso says they can't even upload the avatar and are forced to go to the creators to ask help just for them to shut them down and say they have to pay a 15$ upload fee... like what? Now this isn't all cases but this is what I heard

[Galaxy_Is_Here]

@scenerae Can I Get an Invite to the server if possible? I mainly want Akai

[blackviperxvi]

@lenkagamine12 I believe people talked about this somewhere, I can't remember where exactly but people don't know if they even can due to location issues, such as differing countries and whatnot.

Till then, I'm not really bothered by the rippers, its a product of shitty people using spyware. As of right now, I'm not really sure what to do about it. All I know is the people who use it are very viscous with spreading people's information.

@lenkagamine12 For any of this to even remotely be admissible in court, every single person testifying would have to have proof, and document. Also I haven't actually checked this myself, but if the people selling models with gonso as a TOS they could pull a move like roblox "Well you knew it had the script, and you bought it anyways". I think most people in here are not going to want to pay court fees, and dox their legal names over this tbh.

Fuck creators who use Gonso and fuck the Gonso developer.

I read the privacy policy and yeah, this shit is weird.

They say it collects your VRChat username, Discord ID, license key, and a device ID. It also says the software does “local-only integrity checks” and can send a flag containing your username, license key, and the reason for the flag back to the creator if suspicious activity is detected.

But what the fuck is the device ID actually identifying? What are these integrity checks even checking? And what exactly counts as a “known exploit platform”? They don't actually explain any of that.

It also says “we do not share your data with third parties,” while saying that certain data can be sent to the creator. That's worded pretty weird. And the whole “we'll notify affected users within 72 hours as required by GDPR” thing isn't accurate as written either.

---

The TOS has some shit in it too.

It says the license is locked to your VRChat account and device, but doesn't really explain what happens if you replace your PC, change hardware, or reinstall Windows.

They can also revoke your license for “unauthorized use,” but they don't actually define what that means or explain what would be enough for them to decide that you did it.

They also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the package without prior notice, and say that continuing to use it means you accept changes to the TOS.

Then there's the part about not being allowed to modify or interfere with the protection system, which is pretty broad considering the protection system is running on your own machine.

i say we fight fire with fire if they can can make a license on owned things couldnt we here on teh store ask teh devolopers of the furom to like make a petent pending for teh ripper furoms meaning technicly weere not doing anything wrong as there licesensse would be null and voide if obtioned through a file on this site thus a loophole of it didnt come from ur iteme it came from a random file i found there for meaning ur tos doasnt apply there for meaning we do wht we want if that makes sense

[PomPoms]

I swear to god, some of these people go way too far to prevent rippers from taking their shit. this is insanely predatory and disgusting.

[lenkagamine12]

@PomPoms did u see where some ppl are actouly posting anti ripping software on here and im like man thats the opposite of wht we want here

[Hanka]

@lenkagamine12 If it’s simply to protect someone’s personal models and original work, I don’t really see an issue with it as long as it isn’t harmful. If you want to use someone else’s work that badly, I think it’s fair to expect some effort to get around their anti ripping measures. As far as I know there are only two genuinely effective anti ripping scripts, and even those have limitations which sucks to upload with. They’ll probably be cracked eventually anyway. With so many people who wanna look like others, I think anyone has every right to protect their work. Now if it’s something like Gonso that goes beyond the basic purpose of protecting content then no I don’t think it should be on here.

[PomPoms]

@lenkagamine12 lmao that's so dumb. though I understand why if people would want to use anti-ripping methods that aren't as invasive, I just think it's silly to post it here on the RipperStore.

[lenkagamine12]

this is getting silly there has to be someway to figt this no one is untouchable

[Pixel collector]

i smell lawsuits.

hope these fuck head creators get whats coming to them

[Novacaine17]

i just read this, thank you for spreading that and helping people out

[miowzerssyy]

so you wanna tell me i have spyware on my pc...i bought from cozu before and admittedly gotten some of her stuff from vrmodels. wtf???

[miowzerssyy]

also pretty sure peekabowo might also be using gonzo or something like that bc she watermarks each download so its tied to the buyer and in her TOS it sounds exactly like gonzo

[fauxfur]

@miowzerssyy peek doesn’t use gonso. It’s just Payhip antileak
