   But you’re still installing it for your own use. So on top of violating the   
   licence agreement, you’re advocating dishonesty and dissembling as well.   
      
   Is this how it is with users of proprietary software, that they find it   
   impossible to get through the working day without violating the licence   
   agreements on the software they use?
