Is it illegal to crack games and play crack games?

At present, China's laws do not stipulate that it is illegal to play pirated games, but it is illegal and criminal to pirate other people's games.

Legally speaking, cracking the game is infringement. But as long as domestic copyright games are not cracked, there is generally no problem, while overseas games are illegal in China. These games have no distribution rights, and the Steam platform that plays the role of distribution has not obtained the network culture business license, which has always violated the stipulation that "domestic games must be filed" in the Measures for the Administration of Internet Information Services.

If the clause "Shen Pei needs to operate overseas games" is banned by the government, there is no way to appeal. Therefore, it is still controversial whether the cracking of overseas games is illegal in China.

There are two ways to crack this game:

1. For the short message charging game, some netizens cracked it by modifying the short message sending port. Netizen changed this port number to start with 10086 and sent it directly to Mobile. Everyone knows that sending text messages to 10086 is free, so if you send the text messages, the program will be cheated and the game can be played for free.

However, there are many shortcomings. First, you will receive the message returned by 10086; Second, some gamers will create an illusion that you can't find this port number, or fabricate a fake port number, so that you can't change the real SMS port number, which leads to the successful deduction; Third, the game of online charging cannot be cracked.

2. Some experts who are familiar with programming, by modifying the code of the program itself, decompile and jump or delete the charging program of the game, do not need to send text messages or activate online payment.
