For example, the orginal developer is gone and the source code is as well, but the company using it is the owner of the software (By default, this is the case if the customer pays for its developement in The Netherlands unless there is a contract between the developer and the customer).

I am not a lawyer. Anyway, I think unethical is a better word in this case.
