That is like Microsoft telling us if you want a upgrade your hard drive
to
something larger than what hardware mfg has given or is willing to give
you
and you want a duel boot your original license you cant. Microsoft sure
did
get I hot water when they tried it so what Aamap is doing software mfg's
get
in trouble for... I want 8+ gig of storage and a Linux OS on MY hardware
I
purchased, But I still want to keep the Avmap map data I paid for! There
is
no license agreement with in the unit, with the unit, or displayed on the
unit! No agreement in the manual or packaged with the unit in it's
paperwork.
Nope, you bought a complete system from Avmap, not a pile of software.
It would be more like Apple telling you what hardware to use.
But all that is moot and totally irrelevant.
The mere act of breaking copy protection is a crime under DMCA.
Reverse engineering for knowledge is not illegal...that I am aware of.
Now
if I was, which I am not! make the data base public with A broken copy
protection included then that is a different story.
Just breaking copy protection, no matter what you do with the stuff
afterwards, is illegal.
Providing tools or instructions on how to break copy protection is
illegal.
All the rest of your post is just rationalization.
Just about anyone can initiate an indictment against you for violating
DMCA; it doesn't have to be Avmap.
You are an idiot for posting this to the world.
