ATRAC3+ decoding idea

There's nothing in SS EULA that prevents me from isolating it on my own PC and posting instructions here. Plus, everyone in US, for example, automatically have a right to backup thier software under 17 U.S.C. § 117 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/117) so any EULA which deems this as illegal is simply breaking US laws.

Yeah, but EEUU flag only have 50 starts because they only own 50 states; not the globe (Yet). SS EULA is a Japanese contract which means that if you agree with that contract you agree to be under Japanese laws and for sure, Japanese laws will protect SONY. For sure you can put the instructions, but everybody that does it will break SONY's license and there's the problem; when you install SS you agree with his EULA and modifying SS break the agreement you did before.

And yes, SS's EULA forbidden modify SS software and in that case, using only a part of the product instead the whole product. Look:

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS, RESTRICTIONS, RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
Limitation on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation and Disassembly. You may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE in whole or in part.
Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer unless expressly authorized by Sony.
...
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
This EULA shall be governed by the laws of Japan...

Sony is one of the most protected companies man; remember what happen to GeoHot when he JailBreak PS3 OS; just for that he can't even say PS3, PlayStation, PSN and every brands that SONY own. Also, Japan is not an occidental country, which means they don't use our law system based on UK rules so even you are on the EEUU break the agreement on the EULA still break the contract.

As i say, i understand that you wanna help and you are welcome for that! However, Sony copyrighted material limit not only you, but developers of JPCSP to make a better work.
