The problem is we don't actualy purchase the program only the license to use it
The above is noted on the documentation provied with the item but i have yet to see it hold-up in court.
Every case i viewed where an individual purchased an item and shared it with a friend was never judged illegal.
Remember, the above is where the "gray area" appears, the battle is decided in a court of law and the expense can be overwhelming.
Common sense is the key factor, selling a copy is completely illegal!
Downloading a copy is probably also illegal since you do not know where the original came from; very subjective!
