I haven't reviewed how the macromedia license handles these aspects, but
what is interesting to note is this, Yes, it isn't exactly a 'moral' thing
to decrypt someone else's tag and use their code. You could likely be
confronted with some serious copyright infringement legal issues from the
author of the tag. However, we all know that the world isn't exactly a fair
place and practices like this happen frequently. Reverse engineering of
programs has been around for a long time and will probably remain until
everyone develops some sort of conscience.
I do find it interesting that technical support can resolve a 'encryption
issue' though...basically tells me that the encryption isn't too secure to
begin with :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm saying this as Ray Camden, not Ray Camden
of Macromedia, but isn't use of this decryptor illegal? Should we so
casually discuss a piece of a software that is probably illegal to use?
Also, in general, unless you encrypt your OWN files, you should not be
decrypting other people's templates. If you _do_ encrypt your files, you can
contact Tech support for help. Therefore, there is no need for this
software.
Am I wrong here? And let's not discuss wether it's "right" or "wrong", I'm
talking about legality.
