on another token:
all of the manuals to our software here come on CD-ROM. we can read these manuals, and we can put a copy in our network drives because we are licensed to use the software. a license to USE is not the same as a license to distribute. if we were to copy these manuals and sell them to others, then that would be illegal.
and the "who will catch you" argument doesn't fly. i spend all day laughing at people that think that what they do on a computer is "anonymous".
i'd stil say that it's illegal though. if it was legal then we could get them from Porsche as an official publication. you can get official CDs on other cars, check this out:

but if YOU made a copy of that CD and sold it to someone, then that would be illegal.
