I've seen many post such as the one you replied too, where the legality or forum rule breaking was semi questionable.. There are times when a hex editor, or a resource stripper, or the like, come in very useful for legitimate reasons.
But, it's hard to tell, sometimes, whether the person who asked the question has a legitimate reason.. I guess that's why the forum has the anti-hacking rule, to cover such posts.. JohnWill does a excellent job of keeping this place from becoming a hack convention, and keeping us blabbermouths, who speak sometimes without thinking, under control.. He's caught me close to the edge a few times.. I think AcaCandy may have caught me once or twice as well.

I think it's great to have such a "clean" forum, when it seems like most other forums on the net openingly discuss such tools and actions without regard to legality..

PS.. Someone please help TechGuy get the spell checker fixed before the grammer police step in..

This might stir up trouble. But are you sure what he asked was illegal. You cannot label things by process to shoiw whether it fits the legal definitions that determine if it is or not. Can you? You could look for or make a sticky of the actual law so people can tell how to not violate it. I bet there arent as many things that are illegal as you think. And there are different legal standings for software you own. They go beyond the contract you sign and always override it i think. Its not that simple to say something is illegal when comes to this. And Is that cracking? If you generalize things, if you are, everytyhing you do will seem ilegal if it doesnt already. Even if its not. We shouldnt go around saying things are illegal if they arent. Thats how bad things happen. Very bad things. Its always safe to examine to see if it is though!!

to clarify the earlier part. The law, and contracts are designed by automatically including ealier things that are not mentioned in them. You have to look from the top of the law down to understand it. Thats how contracts are written and how congress and all law writing bodies in this country write law. If they dont, THEY are breaking the law. literally.

I'm pretty sure in the end, legally, the law always goes to the person owning the computer. Because the software is useless without it and as you should know its designed to not even interfere with the ownters hardware or computers health. The computer comes before the software in standing. That means access is more important. If i'm not mistaken.

Might I simply suggest a review of the first post in this thread.

The poster speaks about forum rules. You can review them at the top of the forum by selecting Forum Rules.

Also, is the spell checker not working again?

You speak of legally, and the law, if you aren't a lawyer, you probably should refrain. If you are a lawyer, I'd suggest you contact Microsoft and ask them what their take is on that matter

Happy Holidays

It really doesn't matter if it's truly illegal, since some thing that are not allowed by our forum rules are perfectly legal. What matters is that it's against the forum rules.
