Chances are high that he's going to make her very unhappy. Married men usually do not leave their families for an "affair" (even when they promise to do that). They just want some extra fun for a while.
Therefore I would try to warn her, as careful as possible.
Copyright has not, was not intended to, and does not currently, pay artists.
Wrong in all points.
Copyright has paid artists (though maybe not enough). Copyright was intended to do that (though maybe not that alone). Copyright does currently pay artists (maybe not in your country, I don't know that).
How very Usamerican of you to assume all billionaires were inside of your country :-)
No, it would not be actually dangerous. You just need to be prepared to lose a good part of your money.
After all, it is only a Tricktator. A manipulator and a trickster. No real teeth. No real dictator (though he absolutely wants to become that). No real strength, neither physical nor mental.
From a software perspective adding a kill switch is needlessly adding a potential vulnerability.
Of course they would test against all imaginable vulnerabilities. It is a weapon after all.
And of course they would make all the needed software tests in a safe environment where the switch doesn't really destroy things.
need spare parts and software updates
As I said, no direct profit from the kill switch. But the possibility of indirect profit: for every destroyed weapon, you cannot sell spare parts anymore, but then there is the potential to sell a new weapon later.
Not only such primitve things as a kill switch - because nobody can make any profit directly from deactivating a device - but also lots of dependencies from the manufacturers and from the Usa, for the supply of ammunition, materials, spare parts etc. The same idea that we know as "vendor lock-in" in lots of consumer products.
