Unpacking a PAK file?

[Jason_Wanderer]

imagine a world that had no protections on intellectual property. if someone opened a laptop and looks at it, no one cares. if you took microcode from the CPU and copied it / used it to modify your own and then released your own CPU? the manufacturer will have a lot of fun with you in court. **looking at something =/= copying something. **you can look all you want.

you need to look at things in context here. this is a game dev forum with game devs asking other game devs how to unpack other game devs work. This isn’t some random person that wants to have a look-see for fun.

“you do not get to own information. it is not your property.” you are completely wrong. You can and do own information, and in most countries, you are well within your right to sue if someone steals it, because it is yours. you own it.

I find it funny that this debate is still going on even though dark has already commented that none of this thread is supported by Epic and has the potential to break UE4’s EULA.
I don’t know why people are still trying to fight with you on this. It seems they’re the paranoid ones and are looking to justify their own actions.
