Please. A "compliance check" is the same thing. It does assume that it is
not a legitmate copy. If it assumed it was legit, no test would be needed.
You really need to do something about your logic ability. Maybe a course at
your local community college?

And it assumes that it isn't. And it's ONLY affects PAYING customers!

I went into a store. I bought a CD with software on it. I own the CD and
EVERYTHING on it. Any other interpretation is a scam, especially when to
read the EULA (which isn't valid in my country), I have to open it and
thereby forgo any refund if I don't like the agreement.

Another lame analogy. I have a receipt, all that's legally required to show
ownership of what I bought. Not only that, I have registered the receipt
with the Spanish goverment for tax purposes. It's an insult. It's a scam.
You're a shill and logic impaired.
