i had no idea it was illegal. i assumed to do reverse engineering would be pretty much like taking apart a machine to know what's wrong, for troubelshooting purposes. oh well, i guess it'd be convenient for them, otherwise some programming wizard might point out their blunders, and the s***storm will ensure XD
I think the Nvidia Agreement you sign every time you download the driver states that you agree not to reverse engineer their software...but who knows? never read it
