Binary Munitions!

After demonstrating to the court that his client's program could in no way alter the DRM settings of a target machine the judge ruled there was no case to answer and ended the proceedings.

It was a genius move on the coders part, to split the program in two. Neither part alone could effect any change to DRM settings, but together they tore DRM to shreds.

It was the end user who had to source the scripts from separate sources and bring them together, and thus were deemed to have created their own tool.
