Software Distributed without EULA
Software distributed without an EULA is installed on a persons computer when they visit the website of the PROVIDER. This software, after installed makes registry entries and places text files on the persons computer which contain a unique digital id. This unique digital id restricts activites a person can perform on the PROVIDERS website. IS it a violation of the DMCA to distribute software which removes the registry entries and text files placed by the software provided by the PROVIDERS website? Please remember, there is NO EULA and this is admitted to by the PROVIDER.
Additionally, the digital id is used to track your activity on the website, restrict your actions on the website, printed on forms that you would give to the public and then used to track how many times you've given it to the public. the unique id cannot be changed and remains constant throughout the life of the software (possibly years) and could be used to compile data on your personal activities on the website and in public. Is it legal to distribute software which removes the Unique ID from your computer.
Removal of the Unique ID causes the software to create a new Unique ID next time you visit the PROVIDERS website and treats you as a new visitor.
Re: Software Distributed without EULA
If your software assists people to defraud the other site distributing the software, then there are other issues to consider. Otherwise, I agree with Mr. Stone that this would be the same as deleting cookies, browser history or other software on your hard drive.
