There's also the fact that said tech (assuming it's true) might have damaged the game, perhaps even in a way that's irreparable since they're so rare like inadvertently killing a custom chip or undumped PAL. Now granted in the hands of an expert those chances are very very small, but still that's a risk he had absolutely no right to take unauthorized with someone else's property. Personally I'd feel like the world's biggest asshole taking that kind of gamble with someone else's property behind their backs and wouldn't be able to live with myself if I screwed it up.
