Please also keep in mind that it is impossible to disable ME.
*I am not a lawyer* In america the first sale law means you are allowed to do as you please with a device you purchased as long as you are not violating any EULA but if you somehow did the impossible and figured out how to execute code on the ME core you would be breaking the law as it is also a DRM mechanism (PAVP, HDCP, intel insider etc) which is illegal to bypass.
