And BTW, SafetyNet means that banking apps, etc. aren't going to be viable in a sandbox like this w/o licensing Play Services from Google.

And apps deciding to adopt SafetyNet for fairly stupid reasons like Snapchat (screenshot prevention... ignoring the trivial analog hole).

Emulate ancient device that can't do safetynet robustly (no hardware support).

That works in the near term. Only extremely recent devices have stuff like the key attestation API. Can't keep it working reliably though.

It's a cat and mouse game where it will keep breaking, i.e. people won't be able to rely upon their banking app working on given day.

SafetyNet doesn't even get updated as an app, and seems like bad idea to rely on pirating their code and bypassing DRM for legal reasons...

Downloading a free app or one you already paid for & running it somewhere Google doesn't approve of is NOT "pirating".

Not talking about the app but rather Play Services code and binaries like snet where it's against the terms of the license to do that.

And just because it's free doesn't mean there aren't licensing terms. It's no different than breaking the terms of the GPL, etc.

Not saying it's unethical but it's not legal and bypassing DRM (SafetyNet attestation) is a particularly not legal thing to do.

Regardless of whether it's legal or risky, using the term "piracy" to describe "bypassing DRM" is highly irresponsible.

Not using it to refer to that. They're two separate things.
