This is dubious, I'm surprised MS hasn't locked down those APIs yet.

I'm curious, would this be the legal equivalent of "cracked" software in terms of piracy?

They have locked down these APIs slightly but it's not a very complex "DRM" mechanism: https://github.com/rany2/edge-tts/blob/08b10b931db3f788a506c...

Sure, but if everybody starts (ab)using this they'll change it again with something more complex. Or they will restrict it, like leaving it usable only by users logged in on their MS account.

In reality, you should be more worried about a DMCA claim or cease and desist.

Microsoft cannot move fast enough to present any real concern to someone who is dedicated.

The Microsoft login seems more reasonable, at that point they can filter out bad actors presumably.

Don't ever let them convince you that you can't find out what code running on your own computer is doing.

[ale42]

Of course not... as long as the code is actually running on my computer. If it need authentication, it's another story.
