... want to know... In light of our other discussions further along this thread, and becuase you obviously understand jurisprudence quite well, not to raise issue of "right and wrong" again, but only to understand the law, I'd like to ask this once again.

Wilson's license agreement reads, "This software is protected by united State Copyright law and by international treaty provisions. You are authorized to make back-up copies to protect your investment from loss. You are not authorized to make copies for distribution to others. This User's Guide is also copywrited. It many not be reproduced by any means without prior written consent from Wilson Software."

Is it not a violation of the copyright to provide the program to another person for the express purpose of copying the program? Or is it necessary to detail every possible method of providing a copy in order to have protection?
