Morality vs WTF
 

quote " the SH-Series is dead, so theres nothing to come, if we are not creating it."

First of all, we all accepted but few read over the user end license agreements for the software we use - including games. RE was specifically not permitted.

Copyright ownership does not end if a company does not produce further updates or similar titles.

Google was undergoing a class action law suit representing authors (I am one of them) for displaying book contents without permission. They settled out of court and have to pay millions.

Each of us has our own opinion about the right of it, but accept that it is basically illegal to RE software for any reason. Just about every program end-user license I have encountered indicates that ownership of the program remains with the maker and the license is to use it.

That should kick up some dust in the forum ! :arrgh!:

Hi, raymond.
And, what do you suggest?:)

Suggest?
 

Simple. Leave the .exe file alone.

There are no mods here that have an edited SH5.exe file - or am I missing something:06:

I want to edit my sh5.exe - I can do this:yep:

If you want to leave yours alone - fair doos:D
:up:

:agree: :Kaleun_Applaud:

To be clear. You can edit your own exe, and even write a patcher that will patch one if you have it (EULA won't stand up in court as you own that exe). What you cannot do is copy that EXE and distribute it.

So if you could somehow RE the exe, you would have to create a patcher to patch all the stuff you are changing, which wouldn't happen, as the exe would change dramatically on the very first build of source code.

But you can RE to find certain sections of the exe and replace them with a patcher, this is 100% legal.

Also legal is taking the file structure that we have and making out own exe from scratch. That is completely legal as well.
