    Since you haven't paid for the product, copyright law applies and
    that's quite different than contract law. You get a certain set
    of rights, which vary worldwide, when you buy something. Copyright
    is far more restrictive.

    "Fair use" != "reverse engineering" in any venue so far as I know.

    As always, IANAL, so contact yours for clarification.
