J22, from a diffeent site:

Someone who repairs computers must at time erase the entire drive and reload the programs one by one. What happens when the customer did not legally purchase these programs. Is it permissible to restore what the customer had originally?

Rav Elyashiv: It is absolutely forbidden and even if he will lose his customers he must search for a new manner in which to make a living.

(Adapted from Ashrei HaIsh OC Vol. III Chapter 19)

I asked the author of that article if there was any distinction made by R’ Elyashiv as to the producer of the software, and he told me there definitely was not.
