When you buy a piece of software, you can't give a copy to a friend LEGALLY.
Actually.. yes you can..
provided you are not going to use that software anymore, you can do whatever the heck you want with it...
I understand what point you where attempting to make, but yet you leave such a glaring loophole in your statement...

Huntington Beach, CA | Yes, given that you destroy the original. It's a right of "first sale" as pointed out in another thread. But you couldn't give a copy to a friend but also keep a copy you use for yourself.

Uh....
I didn't think I needed to fill in every minor detail. I thought others here had the common sense to fill those in. Yes, it is legal to give to a friend...if you aren't going to use it anymore. It is legal for you to sell to someone else. It isn't legal to give copies out to multiple people or to one person while you continue to use it.
Please don't nitpick. :P

I've never read anywhere in any EULA that there was a restriction on WHERE your backup was kept. Only that the licence holder/owner was the only one allowed to use teh software on 1 machine (unless the company is "kind"). I have all my software in an alternate location so if my house is broken into or there's a fire, I don't lose it all.

Huntington Beach, CA | It's not in the EULA, it's in Title 17, Fair Use. The backup must be for PERSONAL use. You can keep it anywhere you want, but it must not be used by anyone else.
