The content of the law states: a license for a file that is forbidden to modify - display on the devices corresponding to the account
If you want a second license for devices that do not correspond to the first account, you have to buy a second license for the devices corresponding to the other account.

Anyone who modifies the first file in such a way that it can also be displayed by devices without an account is acting against the letters of the law as well as against the spirit.

And also completely irresponsible - what if the reader is lost or even stolen and the files it contains are unprotected!
