If that were the case, I would already have lost 500€ per month because I have a dedicated server.
That's not really sf's fault. You always have to expect things to stop working, especially in this kind of thing.
It was your decision that you bought/rented it.
Brozilla
Yeah, it actually IS their fault. This is their business, and they actively chose not to stay on top of it and maintain it - the fact that the competition has been able to overcome the January CDM change shows just how badly they've failed in that. Being their apologist and blaming everyone who bought it for their beyond-feeble performance and failure is beyond ridiculous - especially as they're still trying to claim their product is a downloader, when it's now just a screen recorder.
Anyone who's bought or licensed it within the past year should contact their credit card and dispute the charge for failure to maintain the software (remember that the competition wasn't derelict in that responsibility, so it demonstrates that maintaining its performance is obviously possible) - and I guarandamntee you that no bank is gonna tell them that "you have to expect things to stop working" and "it was your decision to buy/rent it." Most credit card purchases have a dispute window of 90 days, but depending on your bank, you may be able to get them to extend that window since SF is actively claiming their product is a downloader when it currently isn't. There's a very nasty term for that which rhymes with "flawed."
My decision that I bought or rented what? SF? I bought it on good faith. That faith has been broken.

Exactly. If SF were actually working on cracking the DRM I'd be a lot more patient, but thanks to
@jpp and
@Cats4U, we all know that's not true. They knew the change was coming months before it did in January, and did nothing to get in front of it. Once it hit, they put all their efforts into rolling out a screen recorder because they didn't have a developer who could crack it, and are apparently allergic to hiring anyone who can. Violation of trust, faith, or whatever you want to call it aside, it's actually a breach of all their licensing/subscription contracts, unless they specify they can substitute a screen recorder for a downloader - and then keep calling it a downloader.
