This is an extract from a online Law site

>In many cases, unlicensed copies of computer programs, including copies
that have been downloaded from >an IAP server, cannot be executed without an
appropriate serial number, or unless the program is altered in >some way to

owner for damages under the Copyright Law.

Which surley means if you deprotect , or offer said deprotection to anyone
else in any form you are liable?

So if a disk has not standard form of information , and anyone but the
copyright owner creates a program to read this they have broken copyright
law?

So making a backup , the use of software/hardware to do this is breaking
copyright law?

Or am i just imaging this?
