Because of all the dealerships that closed during or after the recession, or shops that have dual kits that are redundant, they are popping up for sale. I don't believe that they are 'illegal' to own...it's just that they are NLA to the public AFAIK.
No, it wouldn't be illegal to buy/own/properly sell the KDS (unless it was cloned/copied/etc in some way)... I was referring to the purchase/owning/selling the PDF of the factory manual in his posting. That is illegal any way you look at it (criminal copyright infringement). Of course, it is not really "wrong" to have it if you bought the actual/legit paper manual, but that is a different matter.
NDAs (non disclosure) and/or EULAs (end user license agreements) as would be the case with KDS, can't lead to "illegalness" in any way shape or form.... but disobeying them could lead to *civil* action [lawsuits] which may or may not be successful/enforcible.
