Your claim is false. Simple as that. Example: If the firmware I copy is under GPL, it does not matter whether I own the device or not. It also does not matter if I install it on another device. What is it that you so often bring software pirates into the discussion? I don't like being called a pirate just because I disagree with you.

IF it is, then it's a matter for the copyright holder to complain about. Have they done so? Who actually is the copyright holder?
Has Bookeen complained about people copying their firmware onto another device? Do you know more (because I don't)? Or do you represent Bookeen as the alleged copyright holder?
