Hello,
This is more a question following legal matters rather than electronic. I know that the copy and reproduction of payware is definitely illegal. But another question passes my mind that appears to me, to be a grey area. I have an ancient desktop, 5-6 years old... the thing is really really slow, so today I decided to begin to put together a list of PC parts and build a new, faster, computer, I have calculated the cost of windows into my build, but what really breaks my budget is Microsoft word. Keeping in mind that COPYING software is illegal, would it be okay if I completely removed Word and Powerpoint from the computer, and transfered it into the new one? I feel as if this would be completely legal, seeing as I am REMOVING the software from the other PC, and only using it on the new one. Is this legal? Please tell me, if its not, I will suck it up and just buy the software again. Thanks in advance,
