NW_Pilot,

As soon as we can get the maps to load on another card,

You will also have broken the copy protection, won't you? Exactly how
legal is that per Avmap'S licensing agreement?


Did he say he wanted to load an Avmap map copy? Maybe he just wants to
load his own maps or something else? I think his experimentation
should be encouraged.

Cheers



Over here in the US we have the DMCA that makes breaking any copy
protection pretty much felony. Breaking the copy protection so he CAN
copy the Avmap map is pretty much the same thing as breaking the copy
protection AND copying the map. Not something he ought to advertise
that he is doing. But NW_pilot has a history of telling us about doing
things he ought not do. Sometimes he even provides video. He hasn't
gotten in trouble for it yet I hope he never does but if he does you can
bet your ass that there will be plenty of folks that yell, "I told you
so." I'll probably be one of them.
