Is it possible to report someone for ripping a game if it was stolen from the owner?

G'day Ernesto5432.

Source code safety lays only in the hands of the creator. If the creator does not keep a tight grip on their source and it is leaked, that is their own fault. There is nothing BYOND Staff can do about it.

Thanks Much.

I mean, if he uses a dmb extractor, because my ex host gave it to his friend, who got a dmb extractor from lime wire and extracted it

I'm afraid that's just not possible. There are only three BYOND users with a DMB Decompiler, none of them are going to use it for malicious uses.

And I can promise you, you will never find a publicly downloadable version of a DMB Decompiler.

It's possible (although very unlikely from Limewire) they grabbed an RSC Extractor from somewhere, and used that to extract your game icons, but that's the best they can do.

A DMB String Extractor.
It extracts Text Strings, Variables, and the such.
No real 'code' though.
