And you can’t even check what it’s really doing on your computer because it’s a crime under US law.

Is this specifically for kernel level anticheat? Because this isn’t a thing for software in general right??

It’s a thing for any measure said to enforce copyright under the DMCA.

So it’s a thing for most proprietary software.

  Not if you’re running afoul of the DMCA.
