At least, until license (as all seen by me licenses) doesn't cover method of receiving program image. (Usually) licenses only cover usage of program.

Even if we forget, that many commercial licenses itself break laws (for example, by explicitly prohibit making backup of media with program image), anyway using 3rd party site for legal backup copies isn't illegal! Don't ascribe us guilty, which not exist!

Does using knife for killing makes it illegal for using in any case (including cutting bread)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
