Thread: Garmin DEZL 770 does not show topo map

Actually, if you are the owner of something, it's yours and you can do with it what you want. If I own a DVD, I can burn it if I want. I can decode it and do what I want with the data. Except, make money by selling that copy of it (I can still make money by selling the original). I can create a proggy that cracked their encryption and post it. What I can not do is post the cracked data. But I think my point is not getting across.
1. If Garmin like the law set in EULA, they need to be consistent and not do half and half. You can not claimed your right while violating other people right.
2. If a forum is forced to be responsible for indirectly violating EULA, then pretty much all forums are in violations. Because unless you just only post announcements, you are in violation when trying to help solved a problem.
3. Finally, guns don't killed people, people killed people. A patch/cracked posted does nothing until someone do something with it. Forum should not be held responsible for people action. There is a US law* (don't know if it's world wide) and that is exactly what it said. That is why Google, Facebook, Youtube, etc... still survived and doing well.

BTW, agreeing to a EULA is like agreeing to android privacy, you have no choice if you want to use the device (even though, they are free to collect any data on you and do what they want with it.) The US is currently reviewing this silly requirement and Congress might pass new law concerning it. The EU already is looking at this as well and hopefully will fined Google mega $$$.

How many people would buy Garmin (or any product) if they have to agree with the following:
You are not allow to fix any problem with this device, if there is any issue, you must send it back to us to fix it. That's right, if there is a fix, you can't use it, you must send it back. If there is a better way to do something, you can't do it; you must stick to the original way.
Judging from the declining Garmin sale and discontinued products, not many people.
