The creator reversed engineered it in a way very similiar to our own methods. This is 100% legal. To reiterate, our project does violate their EULA, and you can get your accounts banned for it. But it is NOT illegal.

Actually you are wrong there Lethal. Reverse engineering of any digital media that is protected by encryption is illegal. As per the DMCA. Im sure there are several other points they could attack on if they decided it was worth it.
