According to wikipedia the US is fairly permissive regarding reverse engineering hardware [1]: In the United States even if an artifact or process is protected by trade secrets, reverse-engineering the artifact or process is often lawful as long as it has been legitimately obtained.

Bunnies protest is about what happened to Aaron which was a case about data theft, copyright and the draconian way the us government intended to prosecute and punish.

Singapore has similar copyright and antipiracy laws, and an even more authoritarian and unfair legal process. [2] Human rights activists, foreign scholars and opposition party members have pointed out that members of the opposition parties often suffer "misfortunes" of various kinds, including arrest, sued into bankruptcy especially in defamatory lawsuits, and imprisonment, with the convictions and bankruptcy in turn barring the opposition candidates from standing in elections.

For the record, I love Bunnie, Singapore and the USA
