Your car isn't being directed to trample the IP rights of others.

AFAIK, reverse engineering a game isn't necessarily "trampling the IP rights of others." If I'm just doing a RE project for my own curiosity and not releasing the results or building a derivative product of some kind, it feels like a stretch to say that's trampling on the IP rights of others.

Surely it depends on what I do with the results of the RE?

  • yes, but look at what is being published around world of warcraft, it is just a ton of taking wow assets and making something else

Oh the irony.

  • its not really ironic, I don't support Anthropics disregard for IP law, and I do not support its users disregard for IP law.

    • I guess the irony is that in this situation the IP rights trampling machine refuses to trample IP rights.
