V10lator, early-access means especially a warning cause a game isn't finished, and if a game's not finished you should be aware that it can freeze on the alpha state.
Read on wikipedia:
Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss.

No, modding per se is not. Changing the executables/libraries (exe/dll files) however is:
you may not, in whole or in part, copy, photocopy, reproduce, publish, distribute, translate, reverse engineer, derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, create derivative works based on, or remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Software or any software accessed via Steam without the prior consent, in writing, of Valve.

I can't find the Rust EULA right now, but it contains the same. For copyright laws ask your lawyer.
Do you violate any copyright law by modifying a file?
When it's forbidden by the EULA (EULA = End User License Agreement. You don't own the software, you just have a license to use it! As you don't own it you're not allowed to modify it. Ask your lawyer if you don't believe) then yes, you violate copyright laws.
Maybe that's forbidden, yes
Oh, so now you say it is fobidden *facepalm*
but should i ask for a refund to facepunch if the game i just bought doesn't work, or wait for an update, which can come right now or never, without a chance to predict it and without knowing if it will come out?
Yes, exactly that's what you should do. Do you have any kind of commom sense?
For the one that said that EAC is inactive now, then why it was included in my download on Steam, and there was a file named EAC.exe with some files into the folder EasyAntiCheat? just to make you download more?
For that you have to ask FB Studios, but I guess the answer is something like "see it as a pre-download so it's there when it's needed and the update to enable it can be extremely small".
Either you're a troll or a idiot. This is my last reply to you as you lack common sense. Go to your lawyer and try to sue Valve, you might see him laugh about you, too. Also:
I know, it may be forbidden, but if you're not doing anything with it, why the banhammer speaks
Really? "I know it may be forbidden to rob a bank, but if you're not doing anything with the stolen money, why police arrests you?" - "It might be forbidden to wear a weapon in my country, but if you're not doing anything with it..." - "it might be forbidden to own drugs, bug if you're not doing anything with it..." ... Thanks for the laughs, I'm out...
