Subject: OT Reverse Engineering … Legality
What do you call it (technical name) when a company installs $45,000 worth
of evaluation software (with a dysfunctional security program to restrict
functionality and a termination routine that renders the program totally
non-functional after a set date.) on their computer and reverse engineers
the software and removes the the evaluation restrictions, without paying
for it?

Anyone know if this would this be considered a felony?

TIA

George
