legal question, using demos over and over....

hey was just reading a thread... that brought a question to my mind.
we can test a lot of software, some have some restrictions in trial and demo mode.
but max, the only example i know of, is fully functional for thirty days. is it legal to use the demo over and over?
i bet you cant just reinstall max after the period is over and use it again... but you could most definately format you mac or pc and reinstall it...
i dont know if a single software is worth doing that.. but if you would..
is it legal?

No I don't think it is legal; it's probably very difficult to prevent it working after a re-format+re-install, but it comes down to a moral decision by the user at that point.
