MikeL, while you make an interesting statement about the ever declining ethical standards in our society, you end by doing a sort of disservice to the original question by saying "Generally speaking..." There is no "generally speaking", the EULA spells out your rights, and as Griffin points out the court's interpretation changes case by case. You took a hard line ethical stance and then tell the guy more or less ignorance is bliss when it comes to licensing because "generally speaking" you can do <blank>. Read the EULA. If you are unsure contact the manufacturer. And yes, you should be commended for caring about the IP rights of the product owner.
