IANAL, but it might be relevant to others trying to answer what jurisdiction you are in. (US, EU, CN, JP, elsewhere?)

Also, when you bought from PianoDisc, did you agree to abide by a certain jurisdiction's laws in your use of PianoDisc? And did you explicitly agree to not share any sort of decoder/encoder in any ToS?

US.

I don't see details about them mentioning and decoder or encoder.

    IANAL. But I think reverse engineering their data structure, identifying a security measure - even one as weak as obfuscation, and publishing code to circumvent it is clearly against your license.

      I am also NAL, but out of curiosity does OPs post detailing the obfuscation transgress any laws?

      If the security measures exist in plain sight, as they apparently do, are they allowed to be discussed?

      I reckon that if OP posts the encoder/decoder software that'd be against some sort of license clause. However in the age of AI who cares about the software at this point? Anyone can prompt their own private version into existence.

      Just thinking out loud here. I have not considered AIs use as personal "cheat engines".
