How much does the EB-100 cost? I assume if you buy one of those because it cost less than the CyBook and use the CyBook firmware are you denying CyBook a sale and in effect stealing their firmware? After all you paid for 1 CyBook device with included firmware for that device.

This is the same as buying 10 PCs and 1 copy of Windows and installing that copy of Windows on all 10 machines. That is NOT ok and you do NOT have that "right". The license states 1 copy per machine.

You are rationalizing here. Just like people that download an eBook that they didn't pay for, because they aren't "profiting" from it.
