I don't see how decompiling is a copyright violation.  If I buy
a copy of a book, I'm pretty sure I can translate it into
another language if I want to form my own use.

Unless the license under which use of the program was granted
forbade de-compiling and reverse-engineering, I don't see why
decompiling is illegal.  In some places (Europe?)
reverse-engineering is explicitly allowed by law.

What other laws?
