So you provide one answer on my question of which thought process leads to these conclusions: wishful thinking.

Sigh.

See what I just wrote on the other comment:

> These exceptions allows you to perform RE to _understand_ the code in question for interoperability, not to strip it from copyright and start distributing it as if it was your own code. And in most jurisdictions such exception only becomes possible when it's the _only option available_ to interoperate. As this is _hardly_ the only option available to run this game on your platform (emulation, for example, is completely legal, AND you could RE this title to fix your emulator), this exception hardly applies here.

This is exactly what actually happened in the case you are quoting.
