I'm not sure I agree, and here's my logic:
The issue does not revolve around the copy of the installation disk but
rather with the license. Assuming a person wishing to install XP has the
license to do so, I believe he could borrow my installation CD (as long
as it's the same type, of course). So how is this different from me
uploading it to an FTP server for him to download it? He could download
it and install it using his legitimate product key, no?
Now , do people download XP when they *don't* have a license to install
it? Of course; I'm not naïve. And this is both unethical and illegal.
However, I don't see why it would be unethical for someone *who has a
license* to download a copy of XP.
