  "textContent": "submitted by Aditya_151 to opensource\n64 points | 13 comments\n\nI built a **90.7kb** tool that **strips out Windows screen capture protection,** but now I am concerned about whether I should make it open source. I’m worried it can be misused for piracy or to violate DRM policies.\n\nI built it because I had a piece of software that wouldn’t let me copy text. I tried using Windows OCR to copy it, but it just showed a black screen.\n\nThe tool is great for personal use, but it can be misused, so I am concerned. Any thoughts on this? Will I get into legal trouble if I make it public on GitHub?\n\nI don’t want to get into any trouble, so I need expert advice from someone who is experienced.",
