Computer Misuse Act 1990.
I will drop a message to my wider network and see if there is a section that could be interpreted to fit this situation.
Two issue would be:
1. Using a computer device to commit fraud.
2. Accessing the ROM which was digitally protected as well as not intended for general public consumption.
- wongarsu 8y agoFraud requires deception, which didn't happen in my eyes. Decrypting the XORd questions and answers could be interpreted as breaking digital protection though.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoAs far as we know he legitimately acquired the ROM, he didn't hack the machine, he learnt about that type of machine. If you used this against a machine in the wild you're using the machine in the intended way. The access is authorised; there's no interdition to using reference sources. It doesn't seem like a breech of UK CMA to me. If the OP published the ROM then it's possibly copyright infringement.
