Its funny that you chose Finlands law, because thats pretty much most flexible in this matter.
If you read 12§, it says that in case of computer programs theres some special laws(25§) Lets see what those say, "Joka on laillisesti hankkinut tietokoneohjelman, saa valmistaa ohjelmasta sellaiset kappaleet ja tehdä ohjelmaan sellaisia muutoksia, jotka ovat tarpeen ohjelman käyttämiseksi aiottuun tarkoitukseen. Tämä koskee myös virheiden korjaamista. Se, jolla on oikeus käyttää tietokoneohjelmaa, saa valmistaa ohjelmasta varmuuskappaleen, jos se on tarpeen ohjelman käytön kannalta."
Basically, if you have bought computer program(like bios) you may do whatever you want to do it(even change code), if its still does the thing it was ment to do. You also may copy it, if it is needed to make it work(thats dumping).
"Sopimuksen ehto, jolla rajoitetaan 2–4 momentin mukaista käyttöä, on tehoton." You cannot even restrict copying in eula or any other agreement, because that would be invalid.
jkorpelas text is about copying copies that you don't own. |
I choose the finnish law because your profile says that you live in Finland.
But what you said there is not a case of intended use. That program (BIOS) was meant to be used with the console in question. The interesting part about that is how you interpret "to make it work". If you have a working console, you don't need to make a copy to make it work. ;) I don't like that kind of laws at all, but still it is the law.
The only part you are spot on is the EULA. If it conflicts with your local law then it is invalid.
The jkorpela site is not about copying stuff that you own, it is about your right to copy stuff to your personal use. It does not matter if you own it or rent it.
