Sure but that's a civil contract violation, not a criminal case. The people doing the de-compilation could get account banned or lose their license to play the game. If it can be proven that they performed copyright violation by distributing copy-written material to others that wouldn't fall under fair use or other narrow copy right exceptions they could be sued for potential damages. But decomp projects tend to be explicitly very careful about not distributing anything that could be a copy writable asset like art or sound files, generally requiring someone to provide their own copy of the game (presumably legally acquired) to extract art assets or provide their own substitutes.

There's a lot of legally grey stuff that might be protected under US, EU, or other location's law depending on jurisdiction related to de-compilation, since the source code provided by the decomp team might create a functionally identical binary executable but will not be a 1 for 1 match of the official original source code.

This is a false analogy.

First of all, cameras only record your appearance, and courts have always held that you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" as regards to your physical appearance while in a public space. In contrast, cell phone location data can reveal private intimate details like visits to a doctor or a psychiatrist even if you are not a suspect.

Second, a camera is a fixed point in space, and only happens to capture people who happen to walk past it. On the other hand getting location data from a cell phone tower requires asking a cell phone company to go through their entire database of millions of people to see what users happened to be in a particular area.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 of the US constitution would disagree with this assertion

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

The 7th amendment states that in civil cases, your right to a jury is preserved. By signing an agreement with an arbitration clause, you are waiving your right to bring a lawsuit in the first place. There is nothing in the Constitution that preserves your right to bring a case.

Your numbers are off, 1BTC valued at about $49,000 on Coinbase as of this posting, and that's actually down from recent highs of over $60,000. 3879 X $49,000 is about $190,000,000 at current market prices. If anything Sony has gained money from this attempted theft.

So I don't think that comics are dying per se, just like how radio didn't completely destroy the written medium, or video games destroy television. It's a different form of entertainment and has it's own strengths and weaknesses just like any other.

This is a solved problem that's in a transition phase. The world didn't get rid of all it's incandescent light bulbs for CFLs and LEDs overnight either.

Current 'proof of work' style cryptocurrencies are going to lose out long term to alternative validation methods like proof of stake. While the electricity cost of PoS block generation isn't zero, it's a far cry from current PoW mining. Conservative estimates say that the eventual switch of ethereum to PoS will reduce the electricity costs of block validation by over 99%.

There's also a lot of interest in crypto in parts of the world that don't have access to traditional banking. And smart contracts give Ethereum a lot of potential uses.

Is there a lot of speculation still going on with crypto; sure. Is it possible that the value of Bitcoin drops significantly, maybe even to zero? Absolutely. But cryptocurrencies in some form or fashion are undoubtedly here to stay.
