Reverse engineering windows for eg is illegal. Even for personal use. Which is why many people use other OS such as linux.

True, but that's not what the defendants here are accused of.  Reading through Sony's motion, they are not accusing the defendants of stealing Sony's intellectual property in any way.  They are merely accusing them of "circumventing" (their word) some protections that Sony put in place to ensure its monopoly over the system.
