Seems all of you saw "DMCA" and decided to rant rather than reading the decision. The issue here is location of the maint. code. If the code was not in the library but rather a STK tech's notebook would you even be having this conversation? This is no different than downloading XP from the net and using a forged product key to use the software. The decision does not bar them from servicing STK products but from using tools that STK developed for their own techs. The only party licensed to use the maint. code was STK, not the owner of the library, not anyone else.

Yeah, the DMCA sucks in many ways but STK is not using the it immorally.
