Show me in the copyright law where it says I can't read read, access, copy, modify, adapt, translate, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, decode, download, ... the foregoing for MY own uses (not for profit).
The Digital Millenium Copyright Act, in part:
Makes it a crime to circumvent anti-piracy measures built into most commercial software; and, Outlaws the manufacture, sale, or distribution of code-cracking devices used to illegally copy software.
It's simply not right -- as in "right" vs. "wrong" -- to take without compensation that which does not belong to you. How would you like to invest billions of dollars with the goal of generating a return on that investment by licensing access to your product, only to have the unscrupulous attempt to steal your work "because it's there" or because it's technically possible to do so? I know I wouldn't like it and I think it's wrong to do so.
