Legality of reverse engineering.

[gabri3l]

I am curious, inside the case of a game usually in the manual, you have information saying that you cannot attempt to reverse engineer the product at all, doing so is illegal etc. But this is usually in the game case, not on the case itself, and the cases are usually sealed. How are you supposed to know this information before you buy the game? Are you supposed to ask somebody in the shop? Should you contact the game company?

a good question, someone decided to go to court over this type of issue
