>Message #47477 from Norm Trolson at Jul 3, 2000 7:05 PM Michael, "But if you try to sell the software in the car engine control that make the engine run..." Was not talking about selling copies of any software just the original. Is it really illegal to pull the chip from one car and transfer it to another? It would be illegal for me to download the car's firmware and start burning new chips to sell, that is for sure. Cheers, Norm < Yes it is illegal to pull the chip from 1 car to put on the other. You can pull the whole engine control and put on the other car (identical car same year/make/options/region... I suggest the professional only). On this unrelated to the copyright event, the whole army of regulators from EPA and DOJ would go after you now too because you are directly violate the Emission control law now. Mike
