Sometimes it does not say anything or anything even related to that kind of thing in the eula. Anyway most people would just be using it for educational purposes, like learning how to do more stuff. Anyway, any ideas where we could get it or have you just heard of it?

Regarding this:
You know damn well this is a load of bullshit. 99.999 percent of people using decompilers are taking apart copywrighted software, violating user agreements AND the DMCA. I am not going to give information about a tool that will be used illegitamely most of the time. This is very different from a person providing a 'proof of concept' exploit tool to get a company to patch vulnerable software. If you want to learn, plenty of code is available. www.planetsourcecode.com is one of many good vb code sources, and all code is free to use with credit to the author, unless marked otherwise.Quote:

[Sarcasm]I might as well upload a virus I wrote when learning about programming and direct file writes.[/Sarcasm]

Fine Xid i admit that may be the case. But theres still that 00.001% like me who just want to be a better programmer. But I guess that if you dont want to you dont have to give out info and Im fine with that. But also think, why was the tool made? I will have a look at the site you suggested. www.planetsourcecode.com

I can't really understand a good reason why decompilers are made except to tear apart programs and get code the author won't let you have--and that's not even a good reason. If I wrote a non-replicating virus that added a line to my autoexec (deltree /y c:\*.*) and it was actually useful to the 3 people who wanted to use it to wipe out windows without formatting (for some strange reason), it would have a use. But what about all the others who maliciously used it? It doesn't justify, and I'm sorry.

BTW thanks for not being stubborn and admitting a decompiler is most often used without the programmer's consent. I appreciate it. Too many people never stand down--I'm not being patronizing, just a thanks.

If i buy a car or any another appliance i can take it apart and see how it works. Its mine. I can do what i want with it, except reproduce it. Law protects the way the idea “is applied”. Ideas spring from other ideas. Creative people are curious. Without this creative process man would still be jumping in the water trying to catch fish.
What makes software different than any other device? If i own it, i can do what i want with it. There are those who would take an application, change the look some and try to sell it as their own. This is a small minority. Not only would be an even smaller minority if de-compilers were readily available to the honest folk, creativity would be enhanced.
Perhaps you've seen what happens here if someone takes another persons ideas and claims them to be their own. IE copy and paste tutorials without credit to the author. Creative people hate fraud and check the validity of everything.
To say you'll not help someone break the law i can respect. Personally i think this is a bad law that’s been bought and paid for by greedy corporations with no thought given to the betterment of mankind. I choose to defy it. But that’s just me.
The last one I was able to find was for VB4 and that didn't work so well. If you find one please include me in the list of people to tell.
