Scenario 1: Should I copy software?

Rajesh invests small amounts on the stock market. Last year he bought and successfully
employed a software package to help him with his investments. Recently, he met Fundiswa who
was also interested in using the software.

Fundiswa borrowed the package, copied it and then returned it. Both vaguely knew that
the software was proprietary but did not read up the details. Did Rajesh and Fundiswa do
anything wrong, if so what? More generally, try to answer the following related questions:

Should the software package have been lent? 

The software shouldn’t have been lent since it is proprietary and cannot be used, copied
or distributed without ownership or legal rights, thus, it would be considered as software piracy.
The fact that they didn’t read up the details is not a valid reason to unconsciously break the law
because it is required to read it in the first place.

When is it justifiable to break the law? Bad law, inappropriate law, or if the law is easy to
break?

I personally think that it is not justifiable to break any law whether it is a bad law,
inappropriate law, or if the law is easy to break because if everyone started breaking laws just
because they thought that they had a good reason, the society would be in chaos.
