The contract and/or license involved in the relationship will have a LOT of effect on whether or not a crime was committed in the scenario described.

A lawyer or two needs to be involved in this situation.

Over 10k I think is a felony... Or is it 5?

Would that not be called Pirating? I believe a value of $45k (> $1k) would be equivalent to a felony.

What do you call it (technical name) when a company installs $45,000 worth of evaluation software (with a dysfunctional security program to restrict functionality and a termination routine that renders the program totally non-functional after a set date.) on their computer and reverse engineers the software and removes the the evaluation restrictions, without paying for it?

Anyone know if this would this be considered a felony?

TIA
