Is asset spoofing allowed under ToS?

Is using an animation spoofer contrary to Terms of Service (regardless of the likelihood with which Roblox takes action)?

For context, a friend recently bought tech, but the instructions for using the system he bought say that buyers must use an animation spoofer—the tech group can’t/won’t give him keyframes nor whitelist him or his group to use the animations.

What I’ve been able to find suggests that animation spoofing is a form of asset theft, but they argue that since both free and paid animation spoofing plugins are readily available, then it must be fine. (The group selling the animations doesn’t own at least some of them).

Thanks!

it should be fine if the creator/owner of the asset allows it.

if asset spoofing as a whole wasn’t allowed the plugins we all know and love would be long gone (like the group said).

if you know that some of the anims are not theirs and shouldn’t be in their possession, i wouldn’t use them, as that would be against tos.

I can only tell that they are owned by @someguy who is not 1) the person selling it and 2) not ranked in the group selling the tech. I can’t tell if they gave permissions or not.
