I am going to complicate more the scenario: If you buy a software and this software has bugs, then you disassemble it and correct the bugs, so you have a bug-free version of the software?????? If CL or others have the right to put protection schemes to protect their interests, you also have the right to protect and defend your own interests. I all related threads most people defend the interest of the Companies with legal and ethical excuses, but you have forgotten that consumer has rights and laws also, maybe they are weak, but they exists, is the task of everyone to make these rights and laws stronger, unless you have a lot of stocks of these companies..........

Stupidity also evolves!
