I am going to make the assumption that you do not license software of your own. If you did, you would not over-simplify the issue. I on the other hand - do license software. I have gone through the process and undersand the legalities fo the situation.

BTW, you proof you offer is not proof. If I steal the version of Fox you have - what am I really stealing from you? The medium that software is on, the paper the docs are printed on - etc. For that, I could be arrested. Also, I could be arrested for interfering with your capacity to make use of the license. After all, if you don't have the software - you can't work with it...right? I know this is a legal interpretation of things - but nonetheless - reflects the reality of things....
