If your FTA is damaged and under warrenty, it can be fixed, without fear, what if your DVD recorde is broken, because it can copy ," copy write" DVD's or music, is it a crime to have it, or send it out for repair?

well not exactly, if their is a 3rd party code left inside box along with public keys when you return back the unit, then you are in trouble. Also not sure on this but if flash chip could be recovered of deleted content using forensic science, you are still in trouble, unless you can jtag to the flash & erase full flash multiple times & then write new factory code on it... may be 100% safe.
