Not that I'm overly familiar with ViewPoint's CD :-), but here's how I look at it: ViewPoint is selling keys to the CD for individual objects. They alone have that right. Anyone who buys that key is also knowingly breaking the law. How's this for opening a bag of worms: It's kinda like cable TV piracy. Are the people selling decryption devices breaking the law, or are the people who buy the devices to view cable "for free" breaking the law? I say both. I completely agree about your comment about our current laws too.
