    Usually, protected archives have a password to prevent unwanted access to the files within.

    That's the case here.

    The zip is locked because the sound files are copyrighted.

    You cant access them whatsoever

    Locks are not to keep thieves out, they are to keep curious out and to help when you need to proof there were appropriate means taken to prevent a theft so thief can be then be kept responsible of stealing.

    Copyrights and Licences are ugly things.
    Unfortunately that's locked not because of our choice (the game is pretty open if some have not noticed).

    You own the right to use the content of files as the authors see fit, not the content itself.

    You don't own a copy, but rather a license to run a copy on your system.

    In some nations it is illegal to possess software or tools that allow you to break copy protection, so essentially you may commit a felony by attempting to crack password of a zip file.

    Immaterial property is different from physical property. As was said, you don't own anything, you have bought only right to use software but you don't own it. Only creator owns immaterial property, which creator can sell right to use.

    Conditions of use are defined then in eula, tos etc. which define rules of a contract between you and party that sold you a license to run software in your computer.
    You don't even own your computer completely, microcode of Bios etc. is still intellectual property and manufacturer has licensed that from someone else, so you can run code in your computer, but you don't own that code. You don't get source code of Windows you are running either.

    Audio samples for example can be licensed and their license defines conditions how they can be used, it can define how means must be taken out to make sure there is a lock against thieves, like I mentioned.

    If you look some other games, there is absolutely nothing you can open from them, even save files are encrypted, content is so locked out that you see just one or few odd named files that you can't do nothing with. As Nadeox mentions BeamNG is far more open than most, or maybe any other game.

    World of software is quite weird if you start to compare that to physical world, but kinda impossible to change that, makes life easier to adapt to rules how they are.

    You should start to care, I mean there is certain reputation of your nation that is not the nicest one to have.

    Russians got bad reputation thanks to Ivan stealing and some others making poor mods. Now you openly state that in your nation piracy is not taken seriously, so you get reputation to be untrustworthy and a thief by admitting you crack files open that were purposely made closed, it is not good for you as people in other nations with higher standard of morale and ethics will see you as potential thief and will not trust you to work with you for example.

    I'm just trying to help you realize how rest of the world can see you, which is not always so easy to see, when you are used to how things around you are as normal and how in other nations such is considered not normal at all.

    When you post about speed limits being ignored as well as copy protection being ignored and cracking being common, it does kind of reinforce rumors being told about your nation, which is not good at all, cooperation and getting along with other nationalities usually does require trust and when you are posting stuff that reveals how in your world it is common to ignore rules, which are made so that people would get along without a huge mess, it kinda is undermining that trust.

    Easily 10 000 years humans have attempted to find a way to get along, since beginning of farming and first communities, we are trying to find rules everyone would be okay and to adapt to those so that everyone can work towards better tomorrow, but we still fail to remember why rules were created, it has been only 10 000 years or so of learning, so maybe some more is needed until people can really understand why rules are there.

    Not sure if this will help you with your life, but if you ever seek out something better outside of Poland, it might help you.

    So don't crack zip files, that goes against the rules.
