Infringement of copyright requires an action and that action is copying. If a file remains hosted on some web server but is never downloaded, no offense has been committed. Start downloading it without a license, however, and you become liable as the downloader. On the other hand, if you already do have a license for whatever it is you’re downloading from somewhere else (even, say, beforehand), both you as well as the source are off the hook. Source’s liability is affected by the downloader’s. At least, that’s how I understand the whole thing.

This is why my company offers a trial version. It is identical to the licensed version except that it stops working after 30 days.

If someone can copy something and sell it better, all the power to them, it’s competition a$$holes.
