I have no idea why I got that stuck in my head wrong. Still, my point stands, anyone can buy any domain at any time. Ownership of a domain implies nothing.
Unless the domain registry is going to research each and every applicant, you'll still have to guess. I own a .uk domain despite never having visited Ukraine United Kingdom.
Edit: not sure why I was confused about the .UK TLD, fixed.
DNS is the way around it. But, the caveat is that while you can update your DNS entry as often as you like, itll often be cached on intermediate servers for an unknown amount of time. Expect a downtime of anywhere from a few minutes to days everytime your address changes.
While I still need to review LLM-generated code, I generally don't have to worry about it being malicious the way an unknown contributor's code could be.
So, instead of paying for a game, which provides money to that dev, you will instead pirate that game, you'll steal from them instead, potentially driving them to poverty.
If you pirate it, you are the bad person. If you don't want to risk it, don't buy it, and don't pirate it either.
