Subject: [NF] Reverse Engineering . Legality

What do you call it (technical name) when a company installs $45,000 worth

of evaluation software (with a dysfunctional security program to restrict

functionality and a termination routine that renders the program totally

non-functional after a set date.) on their computer and reverse engineers

the software and removes the the evaluation restrictions, without paying for

it?

Anyone know if this would this be considered a felony?

TIA

George
