![]() ![]() In the US, infringing copyright for commercial gain (e.g. In Australia, downloading or using software is almost never a criminal act (offences under the Copyright Act require trade in infringing copies or commercial scale, etc). Now, supposing you do infringe copyright, the question of whether that is a criminal act will depend on the jurisdiction and the other facts of the case. See 17 USC 117(a) and section 47B of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). In some jurisdictions, there is legislation to permit non-licensees to run software without infringing copyright, but these provisions (at least the ones in the US and Australia) don't apply to copies of the program which are themselves infringing copies. Peak Computer Inc (1993) 991 F.2d 511 (defendant, who was not a licensee in relation to software, ran software and in doing so created copies of the software in memory the person was purportedly authorised by a licensee to do so, but the licensee did not have the right to so authorise the defendant). In the absence of a copyright licence, this is copyright infringement: MAI Systems Corp v. Running a computer program inherently requires you to make copies of it in memory. Therefore, even though you have purchased a licence, you would not have a licence for the cracked copy. In the case of Windows, you don't have a licence to run 'Windows', you have a licence to run a specific copy of Windows. Instead, return it to the retailer for a refund or credit.' Nothing in that licence allows you to download an infringing copy of Windows from elsewhere and apply your licence to that copy. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. the Windows 7 EULA says 'you may install one copy of the software on one computer' and, in another place, says 'By using the software, you accept these terms. The licence almost certainly does not say 'You can use any copy of this software.' It will usually say something like 'You may install this software', surrounded by other language that makes it clear that 'software' refers to a specific copy.Į.g. The licence you purchase relates to a specific copy of the software. Video output devices like UltraStudio or T-Tap products are not compatible with PlaybackPro or PlaybackPro Plus.The starting point is whether you infringe copyright by downloading or using the cracked software. *HD-SDI connections require 3rd party converters like BlackMagic Design or AJA mini converters.
