Question since the article doesn't make it clear - if they distribute ISO-s - this is clear DMCA violation. But tool that modifies iso you have obtained legally is definitely not.


They call it "a software tool that modifies Windows" but the tools that do the actual modifying are Win10-Initial-Setup-Script and O&O ShutUp10. Judging from a video tutorial linked in the article this is a customized ISO.


It's an interesting question, what if your tool removes the DRM from the ISO or turns Windows 10 into Windows Server.


DCMA specifically covers the removal of DRM, etc. But a tool to remove or modify anything else would be perfectly legal.
