Default Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

What about the software that came with your name brand computer. You follow the agreement and one day the system gets old and dies. So you get a new one. You wipe the old systems drive and give the whole thing to the GW. Then you try to install YOUR software on the new system only to find that it can not be installed. This is called a restricted license. I for one feel that you should be allowed to exchange that Version of the software for an open license unless you agreed in writing to the restricted license.
