The person who has the device never agreed to that license…
- brazzy 5y ago...which means that by default they're basically not allowed to do anything with it.
- dehrmann 5y agoFinding a book on a sidewalk doesn't mean you can scan it and legally distribute it.
- SolarNet 5y agoYes but if said book was used in the commission of a crime there is a certain level where it doesn't matter. Don't plug shit into private networks unless you want it reverse engineered. This falls under the fair use exceptions (learning what software is doing / was doing to your network). The copyright holder can take it up with whoever they licensed it to, there is a reason a lot of them read "not to be used in the commission of a crime".
- bigiain 5y agoYeah, it'd be a pretty brazen or stupid hacker who tried to sue you for copyright infringement for code that if they claimed ownership of, provides proof of their illegal activity.
- klyrs 5y agoIf the author was not the person who planted the device, they'd have a decent case. If person A throws person B's cellphone through your window, does that permit you to post person B's nudes online?
