Fair use/dealing comes into this.

I'm not going to attempt to claim that I understand how far the term
"Private Study" can be extended though. Or "research" for that matter.
In the end, breaking the license agreement would be the real issue, as
it is technically legally binding in some cases.

Microsoft definitely distributes ISO files through legit channels - MSDN
and Technet for example. They aren't licensed to share, though.
Zewwy - it's technically piracy, and even if the definition there is
vague (which it's not), it just *looks* bad, and optics are important.

I agree with Mark on most of what he said, except not all ISOs are
infringement. In university I remember needing to install Windows for
a course and the Engineering tech support giving us a key and a link
to Microsoft's own MSDN website where we could download the ISOs and
burn our own copies. Lots of different versions were available.

If there just ISO without keys how is that piracy?
Here's the TL;DR version: every time you "copy that floppy" without explicit
permission to do so it's piracy. Being in possession of a legit OEM sticker
doesn't magically make unauthorized install media legit -- even if the combo
of the two passes activation.
