alt Hacker NewsOk, how long do you have to rip & copy the content as you desire? It is still reasonably a forever version. Before you bring up laws around keys, first consider that jaywalking in front of your house is illegal too. Again, it is reasonably a forever version.

A rip & copy is a breach of the DMCA (because it involves circumvention of DRM, among other things) in the US, which makes it software piracy.
And then they wonder why so many advocate for just skipping the "purchase" step when the end result is legally the same.

Crossing the street in a residential neighborhood is legal in almost all of the world and increasingly legal in the US as well. Many major cities started with non-enforcement and some are rolling back jaywalking laws entirely.
jaywalking in front of your house is illegal
In most parts of the world it’s not illegal. That’s a seriously draconian law.
