Ethical Use of Software Vulnerabilities
So I was just thinking, I know of a few different pieces of software (cheap and expensive) that have many vulnerabilities/flaws within its own code. For example, I know of a piece of a few different softwares that you can download a trial/basic version, and simply add/edit a file to make it the full version. Now, I am not saying that I use these vulnerabilities to my advantage, but I am just wondering, what does the FIRST community think about this? Is it ethical or even legal to use these vulnerabilities to your advantage to get free/cheaper software? Or is it just down right wrong?
