And there is definitely no ????? for me to go to somebody with a candle and ask him to light it for me – no matter where he got it from.
So there is clearly no issur to copy a sefer, book, CD, program or anything else that someone else has purchased.
Well summarized!
There is also no issur to make multiple copies and sell them for your own profit. Patents can likewise be ignored, and the patented item copied and sold with halachic impunity.
Hasogas Gevul is different. Copying it and selling it on or even copying for any commercial use may be ????.
It is not a ???? ????? that they are selling it to me on that conditon only. If it is a real ?????, I can buy any software, copy it and then go back to the company, telling them i violated the ???? ????? and i’ll give them the CD they sold me and they owe me my money back. And NO self respecting company will return my money. So the entire ???? is nothing.
And I once heard from a ????? ??? {but i haven’t verified it anywhere} that if the seller knows that the ???? has a very good chance of being broken, then there is an ?????? that he didn’t want the ????. And every company knows how many people copy their software.
And, by the way, you’re right — it isn’t ???? ???? ?? ???? ?????, although i didn’t think of that!
And clicking on a button is not a ???? — Not ???, ???, ????? or ????. That is not enough for a ???? to be ???? in anything.
And, like a said already: Anything to do with ???? is not the copier’s problem; it is the purchasers.
