Dear sir or madam,
I am contacting you because you are listed as a dealer on the Cary
Audio website.
There is something you should know about the DMS-500: the product is
based on a software for which I own the copyright (Music Player
Daemon). The problem is that Cary Audio does not have a license for
my software; the DMS-500 ships with a pirated copy.
Here is the announcement on my website:
https://www.musicpd.org/news/2018/02/gpl-violation-on-cary-audio-pms500/
And here is an email by Billy Wright, Cary Audio's CEO, admitting the
copyright violation:

I'd like to make you aware of the issue, because each time you sell a
DMS-500, you are distributing an illegal copy of my software. This
may make you liable for the damages caused by this copyright
violation.
Regards,
Max Kellermann

Max,
I have been following this thread with great interest, and this is quick
note to say THANK YOU for your efforts in defending the GPL.
MPD is a wonderful project and if it wasn't free I would never have
found it.
Regards
Ben
