In most countries you won't get in trouble for overriding hardware protections under right-to-repair or fair-use regulations.

Nazism wasn't exactly unpopular in the US at the time (and still is, unless you mention it by name - think Alex Karp). It required a concerted propaganda effort to reverse that, with limited success - in the end Americans hated the German nazis, but never completely rejected their ideas about race supremacy.

I've been using Claude Opus and it's pretty competent. I rarely have to make steering corrections. Once I had to deal with confusion, but, overall, the code is neat and the approaches sensible. It all depends on how much context you give it to work from, for instance. If it's building on top of a well organized codebase with a good best-practices document, it performs just fine.
