maybe this a silly question, but isn't that like most closed source code?

- Polylactic_acid 6y agoNo. You can basically always decompile proprietary software and work out how it works. And even publish most of your findings. In some places like the US, if that code is DRM its now illegal to study (Under the DMCA specifically I think).
- brokenmachine 6y agoIs there a specific definition that makes something DRM? Sounds like all software companies should add some trivial DRM only for the specific purpose of exposing people to legal risk if they attempt to reverse engineer their code.
- zucker42 6y agoReverse engineering is generally legal. Reverse engineering DRM can potentially get you a lengthy jail sentence.
