Legally, I understand your point, but morally, I find it repellent that a breach of contract (especially terms-of-service) could be considered more important than a breach of law. Especially since simply existing in modern society requires us to "agree" to dozens of such "contracts" daily. I hope voters and governments put a long-overdue stop to this cancer of contract-maximalism that has given us such benefits as mandatory arbitration, anti-benchmarking, general circumvention of consumer rights, or, in this case, blatantly anti-competitive terms, by effectively banning reverse-engineering (i.e. examining how something works, i.e. mandating that we live in ignorance). Because if they don't, laws will slowly become irrelevant, and our lives governed by one-sided contracts.
