[QUOTE="Nicodemuz, post: 21093, member: 10942"] Wrong. That depends on the laws that defines "illegal", and laws vary from country to country and time to time. Are the laws absolutely right? No, they only state the opinion of a dictator or the opinion of the majority of people in a democracy (or rather the opinion of the selected representatives). As the opinion changes the laws will, and thus will "right" and "wrong" change. For example the U.S, how many people cannot vote due to convictions to current law? And how many realistic options do they have to place their votes on? One democrat and one republican? But these brilliant minds with no funds from companies and organisations? Who would fund something that would decrase profit and spare environment? Of course people will vote on the lesser bad, but is it real democracy? Is the laws under one of these rulings always absolutely right? Are everything black and white? Basically I can build and use any patented or otherwise protected technical solution, as long I don't sell it. But that is the laws of my country, maybe yours differ? The laws of my country protects the owner of the design rights so it doesn't loose deals to competitive companies that copied the design. But the laws also allows for technical improvements made by other by allowing reverse engineering and allowing building others designs. [/QUOTE]
