Seems like one could have an LS9 that was purchased second hand and still be able to take advantage of this.
Ethical considerations aside, yeah, probably would get past them...
I also bought 2 Dante cards for my LS9 to make it into a meager monitor console on my network. Will set that up and try it out in the coming weeks.
Yep, that's a pretty sweet setup! I bought a pair of Dante cards for my LS9-32 in December, and used them for a show in San Jose last month. QL5 at FOH, pair of Rios at the stage, and then the LS9 was used to mix the live video stream broadcast. Worked like a charm!
