Extracting BAF and PMC PBOs

[Soul_Assassin]

the law comes before a license. most countries laws permit you to extract products you buy as long as do not circumvent the copy protection

wouldnt the BAF and PMC encryption then constitute copy protection?

[.kju [PvPscene]]

yep they do. this is why there is no tool out there to break it

[Dragon01]

But why did they encrypted them anyway? From what I've seen, BI is ussualy friendly to modders. I don't think encrypting these files helps modding in any way.

guy A could send the DLC to a friend B easily. So easy piracy.

Nothing in the BAF pbos that would tell modders more then any other pbos.
