I'm not looking to start up trouble on the issue, honest. But I could have sworn that if you purchased a software product and had proof of that purchase, and you wished to replace it with the provision that the product is no longer offered for normal retail sale - that you could then legally torrent a new personal copy.
Go ahead and correct me if I'm off on this.
Edit - did some research. yeah, in the US what I typed above still seems to be correct at this present time.
