Nobody is hacking the Durametric software; I think that's what you're forgetting. There's no special effort to get the software to work. It's not like other diagnostic tools.
Again, the cable is independent from the software, any diagnostic system. The cable is just a tool to communicate with the ECU. The ECU dictates what type of protocol it can TX/RX.
Is the cable offered by Durametric unique? Yes, no doubt! Can other cable in the market able to communicate like the cable offered by Durametric? Yes, no doubt! Does other cable in the market provide the same feature as cable offered by Durametric? No!
It does not mean that it's cloned or ripped off!
