I agree with the "hobby use". If I buy a piece of software and have 3 or 4 machines running here, I feel I should be able to use it on all machines. I most certainly am not going to buy 4 different copies of the same thing to use on them. What M$ and even Game makers do not comprehend is if you pay the "price" for this software, the average Joe Blow is not going to run out and "give" it to everyone he meets. I do think if you copy it and then charge someone for it, then that's another horse. But to copy it and use it on other machines in your home ...well that's an invasion of my privacy to tell me I can't do that. Even loaning it out to a family member should be ok as long as money does not pass your hands. |
