So, wouldn't it be possible to code around the encryption? If I were to get a copy of the Runescape source, and make a bot that works around or with the source, then would that be illegal? I mean, I wouldn't be decrypting it, o anything, just, reading it, and using every bit of code, right?
If that were the case then you need to rat out who decrypted it. There are grounds for a lawsuit and Jagex can definitely prove to the court that their codes are encrypted( in order to get to the codes it has to be illegally decrypted). The court will rule in Jagex's favor unless you can provide acceptable evidence that someone else did it.
Even if the court rules in your favor, is your mountains of legal fees in defending yourself really worth it?
On the other hand, Jagex might never even take you to court, but are you willing to roll the dice?
