Such individuals bought the "right" as to use the software to begin with, however file corruption does occurs very often... So under copyright it is common practice for companies to write into their user agreements that you cannot make a copy for backup never mind 3 copies...

Under Canadian law from what I can remember you are entitled to make 3 copies regardless what the US companies are trying legally...

For some strange reason the practice of using copyright in the US as to represent a legally binding contract is somewhat... misleading...

Even if a person went to a "Illegal" bittorrent site and downloaded whatever they wanted to for personal purposes the courts may not press criminal charges... it is copyright for god sake... besides you cannot prove that an individual had not bought the program to begin with being new or even used...

So get of your high horse... L-Pink
