EULA Violations: End User License Agreements generally prohibit reverse engineering. Portable builds derived from commercial software inherently violate these terms.
Copyright Infringement: The distribution of modified binaries constitutes derivative work distribution without the copyright holder's permission.
DRM Circumvention: In many jurisdictions (e.g., under the DMCA in the US), the act of bypassing DRM to create a portable version is a violation of anti-circumvention statutes, regardless of whether the software is used for piracy or personal convenience.
