no its like rent a house and lock picking for see what are inside. You can lock picking your own house because lock picking ins’t illegal, use/examine all object (because ins’t illegal) but you can’t sell or redistribuite what’s inside because it is not yours (because its illegal if its not yours). Except of course if the contract/EULA allow you the right for do that.

You can rent a house and the contract limit the right to use the couch, you accept it, then you use it, you break the contract but not the law and your not doing anything illegal, because isn’t illegal use a couch.

That is the point. If you know you are going to break the contract you shouldn’t sign it in the first place. And as I said, even if it’s not illegal it’s not morally right.

And if you do break the contract you should leave the contract and stop using whatever service you have been using in case UE4. But even when they break the contract with Epic they don’t stop using Epic’s engine and instead want to find a way to prove they have the right to break the contract and still use the engine. That’s again a moral.
