If you do use some stolen software, may be return it to the owner when
you have finished using it. Personally, I don't mind burning another
DVD, but if I did not have a back up copy I would be annoyed and would
really appreciate if my DVD was returned.
Copyright infringement on the other hand ... that's a legal matter, as
