[Discuss] Fwd: Hey FCC, Don't Lock Down Our Wi-Fi Routers | WIRED

[Drew Van Zandt]

"Because I want to make money" is not, last I checked, an acceptable excuse
for violating license terms.  I don't see how that would be different from
selling cracked copies of Windows.
"Because I want to do something cool/good" isn't either, much as I wish it
were.
