Well, if you have backgrounds in IT, probably have heard about EULAs, which, believe me or not, supposed to be binding legal contracts, even if reading was quick pgdowns to scroll and enter to dismiss. I'm more then sure that one buying tune, even if was too lazy for that, was informed by shop, what exactly he buys, with what features/possibilities, what he can or cannot do and what exactly tuning shop selling tune must provide and what is upto their goodwill to provide.
"I bought this copy of photoshop, paid for it". "It must be opensourced, so i with my coding skills can modify even more and sell as product renamed to uberpaint, at 1/4th the price of PS, or even release it for free!!" Well, Adobe may have different view on that, and might have different things what's in their best business interests, no matter what customer may wish or expect/request them from their product. And you cannot fault them for not quietly doing anything what you may which/request, all you can do is vote with your valet to get their product or not.
As for unlocking possibility, i'm pretty sure that even if there had been a way for someone via eg. some unofficial vendor alternative encryption key set to hack around/unlock locked tune, then it's in interests of ecutek as vendor and tuning shops choosing/using it exactly for there to not be publicly known such possibility. Locking/encryption feature might be not the only one/main one, tuning shops stick to ecutek as tuning solution, but it is used feature due existence of which many shops may have chosen this platform aswell. So i doubt that even if someone knew how to unofficially crack locked ecutek tunes, that he would share such nfo, be it from ecutek themselves, be it from some tuning shop or be it some hacker that found some weakness/vulnerability and found ways around .. waiting to be hit with legal action, once publishes that nfo in open public. Be it due DMCA or whatever else alike.
